The Evang. Luth church in Hoorn

betekenis & definitie

(Ramen 4) [3] is a hall church with a swollen façade with checkered corner axes and a prose imperialite in Louis XV style. To replace a church on the Tempelsteeg (1631), this church was established after a long discussion in 1768-'69, possibly after a design by Jacob Hart or master carpenter Barent Brouwer.

The interior of this church, restored in 1994-'95, has a wooden barrel vault and galleries along the long sides. The church room was shortened in 1923 with a dividing wall at the rear. The inventory from 1773 consists of a particularly richly carved pulpit with a soundboard, a doophek with two copper baptismal arches, a men's bank with an attachment with a clockwork, and an organ gallery. The organ donated by wine merchant Hendrik Taddel was built by Pieter Müller (1772, restored in 2001).

The church is flanked by a presbytery (Ramen 2) with a framed entrance and a sexton's house (Ramen 6) from 1769.
