Heilige Lodewijkkerk
The different types of textiles produced in Leiden each had their own ‘hall’, where quality was checked and inspected and from where trade was regulated.
In the 17th century, the chapel of St. James's Hospital served as a fulling mill. Although the Flemish were primarily responsible for the flourishing fulling industry in Leiden, the Pilgrims who worked in the cloth industry would have been very familiar with this place. Many Pilgrims found work in this sector, as it required a large number of unskilled workers. Today, it is the Church of St. Louis. The tower dates from 1594.
