Laurens Church
The Laurenskerk is the only medieval building in Rotterdam. This must-see hotspot was built between ca. 1449 and 1525 (when Rotterdam was still walled and waterways were the main trade routes) and has been literally and figuratively in the center of the city ever since. Since then, many varied activities have taken place under the gigantic roof. But even today, the Laurens is still a place for meeting, reflection and inspiration. In addition to church services, the church is still regularly used for concerts, guided Tours, conferences, fairs, dinners and other business and ceremonial gatherings. There are no fixed pews in the Laurenskerk, which is why the church can be divided according to everyone's wishes for smaller or larger groups. The maximum capacity in concert and theater setup is 1200 people. For a dinner, 150 to 1000 seats can be created.

Reviews
Amazing cathedral from the medieval period(1449-1525). Was only able to tour around the exterior as there was a wedding going on inside but still very beautiful to see none the less 👍
Very well kept building! There is an entrance fee of 3€ but worth it! Shame i couldn't stay for a lunch time pipe organ concert, but i bought music CDs from local Organist and choir
Unlike the heat outside, the inside of the church is cool and comfortable. I think it's good to take a break and take a look.
Beautiful Church with strong history is interesting for history/archeological enthusiasts to visit especially in the evening with lights on. There is a ticketed entry with free to roam tour inside the Church.
went to an amazing concert and this church is such a soothing place
"The imposing and magical Laurenskerk, a war survivor of Rotterdam. Top location for a great event."
