Leerdam (ZH): reformed church
The
reformed church or Grote
Kerk is mostly a late-Gothic building, but part of the tower dates from
the second half of the 13th century and is in Romanesque
style. The church this tower belonged to was gradually
replaced. In the first half of the 15th century a Gothic transept was
built, followed by the choir and the sacristy, both of which have
decorative natural stone layers in their brickwork. In this same period
the tower was heightened.
