The Grote Kerk Den Haag is a historic church located in The Hague, Netherlands. Established in the 1400s, the church is renowned for its beauty and historical significance. Visitors are treated to an expansive interior with high ceilings and open spaces that invite you to explore its many corners. One can find many interesting features here, including a few beautiful stained-glass windows and the burial tombs of famous locals, Christian Huygens and his father. Visitors can purchase tickets for a mere 3 euros and receive guidance from the knowledgeable and friendly church staff. There is also an option to climb the tower with a guide, but capacity is strictly limited to 15 guests per tour. With the 600th birthday of the church coming up in 2024, visitors can expect even more festivities and events to mark this significant milestone.

Was here for the whiskey festival and we had a grand old time. Gorgeous and well kept interior, very accessible and surprisingly warm for such a large building on a cold and dreary day in late fall. Definitely worth a visit with or without whiskey.

A culturally and historically beautiful venue to attend the Expat trade show last weekend. Very high ceilings and plenty of open spaces that facilitated the booths aswell as seminars. A well organized and timely information to help expats gain valuable insights. I was particularly intrigued by a seminar on tenants rights against landlords in Netherlands. Well worth the Saturday to walk around and meet various service providers - extend networks under one roof

We climbed the church tower with two kids (5 &7) and enjoyed it a lot! It is a separate tour, with 15 spots only. It runs twice a day - book in advance, the ticket includes an excursion. Our guide Theo was very charismatic, wr have learnt a lot about tower history and a weird metal roof it once had (see bw pic):) Great panoram of the Hague! Next year (2024) church celebrates its 600 birthday 🎂 do not miss it!

The cathedral is huge and seems as empty at the first glance. But, it contains a few interesting stain glass windows. Christian Huygens and his father are buried there. The price is 3 euro. There is an option to climb the tower but this can be done with guide. Looks as the long way to walk up the stairs, so I skipped it. Reserve about 30-40 min to visit at least. Staff speaking English and very helpful.
