About

In 1408, due to the increasing number of parishioners, the Archbishop of Utrecht ordered the construction of another temple in addition to the church of Saint Nicholas. Initially, the new sanctuary was named after Saints Mary and Catherine. Throughout its history, the church was engulfed by fire three times. Following the last of these incidents, it had to be rebuilt. At the same time, its architectural style was changed. In 1645, the temple was presented in the Gothic style, which can be admired today. For a long time, Nieuwekerk was used for the coronation of the ruling family and the marriage of young princes and princesses. Today, it hosts various exhibitions and organ music concerts.
