Marekerk
In 1638 nam het Leidse stadbestuur het besluit een nieuwe kerk te bouwen voor de protestantse eredienst.
This octagonal church was built as one of the first churches for Protestant worship, between 1639 and 1649, and was designed by city architect Arent van 's-Gravensande. The portal from 1659 is by Jacob van Campen. Inside stands a pulpit from 1649. The organ, built in 1560 and expanded in 1629, was moved from the Pieterskerk in 1733. The Mare is a former peat river, now partially filled in.
