What you see at Hooglandse Kerk
Inside, the tall choir, broad Gothic transept, wooden vaults and large expanse of windows stand out. The church is still used for services and also hosts concerts and other Leiden events.
The history of Hooglandse Kerk
Construction of St Pancras Church began in 1377. Expansion stopped in 1535; the high nave, stone vaults, flying buttresses and balustrades were never completed. The tall choir and transept beside a lower nave therefore still define its silhouette.
