The church was designed by
Adriaan Dortsman (ca. 1636-1682) and was opened in 1671. In 1822 the church was nearly destroyed; it was rebuilt in 1826. In 1983 the church was closed for restoration, but in 1993 the dome caught fire, and the church was again restored. The church is not open to the public, but interested persons may request to view it at the Renaissance Hotel during business hours. Visitors can see the tunnel of the church, where the ground floor of the consistory has been converted to bathrooms and the upper floor to a meeting room. Of the main hall, the impressive columns, galleries, organ and pulpit can still be seen. ==See also==
