Tips
The Great Church or St. Bavo's Church (Dutch: Grote of Sint-Bavokerk) is a three-aisled cruciform church, built between 1370 and 1520 in the Gothic style. It is the largest church in the Dutch city of Haarlem. It served as the cathedral of the short-lived Roman Catholic Diocese of Haarlem between 1559 and 1578. The church's patron saint is Saint Bavo. In 1578, the Reformation was introduced to the church; today, it is an Evangelical United parish church and belongs to the Protestant Church in the Netherlands. The building has been declared a National Monument.
