Leiden's Religious Sites
Leiden's religious landscape is defined by massive late-Gothic structures like the Pieterskerk and Hooglandse Kerk, reflecting the city's Reformation history. The collection includes the 17th-century Marekerk, the first church built specifically for Protestant worship, alongside neoclassical Roman Catholic sites like the Hartebrugkerk. These sites showcase architectural styles ranging from 14th-century masonry to early 20th-century designs by F.B. Jantzen and modern community chapels.
