Located at the Martinikerkhof 3 this church is open to visit daily, when there are no marriages or events.

A bit of history

The basis of the current Martini Church is a Roman-Gothic cross basilica that was built in the first half of the thirteenth century. Over the centuries, the church has been frequently adapted and renovated, just like the church tower. The Martini Tower was built between 1470 and 1550, after a predecessor collapsed in 1468. The 'new' tower collapsed in 1577 after it caught fire due to lighting bonfires. The tower was not restored until 1627. The 97 meter high Olle Grieze can be visited by purchasing a ticket at the tourist office in 't Forum.
