  • It's worth a visit and is only 3 euros to do so. Some really good stained glass windows and surprisingly, 3 large ship models hung from the ceiling.

  • This church is in Middle of Haarlem centrum, it’s very old around of 1400. Ticket charge for Adults are €3 and free till kids of age 12 years. With ticket they will provide you the tour guide pamphlet with different languages. There is an organ inside the church which is built up with 5k pipes. It’s very beautiful and sound music of organ is also very melodious. Visit at least for the organ and sound.
  • Amazing architecture and lots of religious symbolism and amazing art. 1500 graves make up the floor of the church. The biggest church organ takes precedence and if you're lucky someone will be playing it. Small shop and written guides. 2€ entry fee. Recommended
