Description

Zuiderkerk ("southern church") Along the Groenburgwal Canal The church, designed by Hendrick de Keyser, was built between 1603 and 1611. It was the very first church commissioned by the Protestant community. The building is of the type commonly called pseudo-basilica, with its two aisles which are only slightly lower than the nave, so that there is no room for clerestories. The top gables facing north and south were decorated in a rich and flamboyant Renaissance style. take care, have a spiritual day Btw thanks for your support and kind comments on my previous postings.
