    The Koepelkerk is located in the centre of the fortified city of Willemstad. This church from 1607 was built with financial support from Prince Maurits and is the first church in the Netherlands that was built specifically for Protestant worship.

    The church was built in an octagonal shape (central construction) entirely in accordance with Prince Maurits' wishes. The church was built without a wreath of chapels and aisles. Not the altar, but the pulpit had to form the centre. The church is a model for many later Protestant churches.

    The Dome Church Willemstad is a church in the center of Willemstad in the province of North Brabant. It was the first church, designed by Coenraat Norenburch, in the northern Netherlands that was built specifically for Protestant services. Construction began in 1597 and was completed in 1607. Prince Maurits provided financial support for the church, on condition that it would be built in a round or octagonal shape. The church is currently used by the Reformed Church/PKN and is a national monument. There is a cemetery at the church.

    To visit the dome church

    Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Koepelkerk is open every Saturday afternoon (2-5 p.m.) from 22 Aug to 3 October 2020 for viewing by the public.

    A group of volunteers is always present to receive visitors and to tell about the history of the Koepelkerk.

    Due to Corona restrictions it is not possible to climb the tower from which a beautiful view over the fortress and the surrounding area is offered.

    There will always be an exhibition in the tower and organ playing or other musical expression during opening hours.
