Grote Sint Laurenskerk, North Holland Province, The Netherlands
4.5 (253 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Alkmaar Points of Interest & Landmarks
An old Church along side Canal in Alkmaar
This is a hidden gem amongst canal, boat rides and Cheese Museum. Very Antique (500 years plus) church. Excellent Architecture, with Gothic Arches and Stained glass windows. Still with regular masses at specific times (English and Dutch) for local and visiting Christians. Many tourists do not know it and stop with Kass Museum and this is right beneath.

To enhance the prestige of 16th century Alkmaar
It almost took 50 years to build this monumental church during a time Alkmaar started to flourish as a city. Completed in 1518 the church -for almost five centuries- served as a place of Christian worship. Since 1996 no longer. Nowadays the building is used for cultural events like concerts and exhibitions

Hielander Whisky tasting festival
Visited the yearly Hielander Whisky tasting festival which takes place in this big church. Great location, and one can still enjoy some of the interior like the arches, stained glass and organ.
