Gouda's Historic Churches

Gouda’s religious landscape is centered around the Sint-Janskerk, the longest church in the Netherlands, world-renowned for its 16th-century stained glass. This collection highlights the city's architectural diversity, ranging from the 15th-century Jeruzalemkapel, modeled after the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, to modern Reformed and Catholic structures. The list includes historic Rijksmonuments and active places of worship that represent Gouda's transition from medieval Catholicism to a varied Protestant and Evangelical presence.
