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.
