The Michelin Guide's review
This Gothic church, with its truncated tower in the axis of the nave, was completed in 1646. Destroyed in May 1940, then restored, St Laurenskerk was given a new bronze portal (1968), by Giacomo Manzù. The interior consists of a broad nave, whose austerity is attenuated by the warm colours of its panelled vault. The transept is home to mausolea belonging to 17C admirals and a graceful 16C organ case.
