Martinikerk Franeker

Highlight • Religious Site

In Franeker, the legendary Martinikerkerk is worth a visit. The Gothic church building was built in the fifteenth century in the middle of the Franeker hill and is dedicated to Saint Martin.
The pseudo-basilica has thirty columns between the nave and aisles and twelve columns around the choir. On a row of sows you can see images of saints. The impressive tombstones in the church are those of wealthy nobles and professors. The Martinikerk is the only medieval church in Friesland with a walking path, so pilgrims can walk around the church for a while. The 1842 organ was made by Van
Dam built.
