Landmark 5x11 - This church overlooks the Market Square of the old Dutch city of Haarlem.
the first part that was constructed was the choir. This was built from 1370 until 1400 by architect Engelbrecht van Nijvel. It was mostly executed in brick, with only a limited use of sandstone. The choir has a heavy, closed look with relatively small windows. It's also remarkably deep for what was intended as a parish-church, and the reason for its size is still a mystery.
The transept was built from 1445 to 1455 under architect Everaert Spoorwater in Brabantine Gothic style. Originally the transept was lower than it is today; between 1480 and 1495 it was heightened with a section that is still easy to tell apart from the older parts.
