Sint-Janskerk
The Sint-Janskerk is also known as the 'Big Church'. The large Gothic building is 123 meters long and therefore the longest church building in The Netherlands. The building itself has a very long history, and it has been used as a church since the 15th century. The church is famous for its stained glass. The building is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, who is the patron saint of Gouda. Red and white, the symbolic colors of the saint, can also be found in the city's coat of arms.
