Hooglandse Kerk
The Hooglandse Kerk is beautifully situated in the historic city center of Leiden.
One of three medieval parish churches. The wooden chapel from 1314 was soon replaced by a stone church. In 1366, St. Pancras became a collegiate church. Plans for a cruciform basilica were never completed due to lack of funds, but the interior with its enormous windows is impressive. The lower part of the tower dates from the early period, the wooden superstructure from the 17th century. The organ was built by Pieter Jans de Swart in 1565 and expanded by the Van Hagerbeer brothers in 1637.
