The church is known as the Grote Kerk (Great Church), but is officially dedicated to Saint Martin, hence the name Sint-Martinuskerk (St. Martin's Church).
Location and History:
The church is located on the Markt square in Dokkum and dates back to the fifteenth century. At least three wooden churches preceded the current tuff-stone church on this site.
Current Use and Accessibility:
The church is used by members of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN). During the summer months, the church is open to the public on certain days, and organ concerts are regularly held there.

This Dutch Reformed church is located on the Markt and was built on the foundations of the original memorial church from the 8th century. The current church was built in the 15th century and extended a century later. dokkum.nl/must-see-dokkum/kerken-in-dokkum

The church is used by the members of the PKN. Until 2004, the building belonged to the Dutch Reformed Church.
