The largest medieval church building in the center of Alkmaar was already called the Grote Kerk when it was built because of its size. The Grote Kerk is traditionally not only the largest and tallest church building in Alkmaar, but also the church that has been most respected over the centuries and consistently praised as the city's jewel. The building was originally dedicated to Saint Laurens, which is why the church has been referred to as Saint Laurens Church for centuries.

Very impressive church with a Schnitger organ that seems to be world famous.

The Grote Sint-Laurenskerk, formerly Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk (Great or St. Laurentius Church), is a Protestant church in the Koorstraat in the Dutch city of Alkmaar. The current building was built between 1470 and 1518. Originally a Catholic church dedicated to Saint Lawrence, the church became Protestant in 1573 during the Reformation and was deconsecrated in 1996; the building houses a permanent exhibition about its history and is used as a concert hall, mainly thanks to its two organs. It is a Dutch national monument with inventory number 7258. The church is to be distinguished from the Catholic Laurentiuskerk (Alkmaar) from the 19th century.
