#GeschiedenisenHistorie

In mijn woonplaats #Leiden struikel je over de geschiedenis. Denk aan de oudste universiteit (1575) van NL, maar ook aan deze #HooglandseKerk in de mist die dateert uit de 14e eeuw en tot 1572 een katholieke kerk was.

Voor de autovrije #binnenstad #Leiden werkt het college met #venstertijden voor bezoekers en leveranciers. Onnodig, vindt Pancras-West, de wijk rond de #HooglandseKerk. Er rijdt al vrijwel geen #auto daar.

Not sure what’s going on over at the Hooglandsekerk, but it involves bagpiping and there’s a long queue out front.

Not included in this clip: the flustered guy in an expensive sports car who realized he couldn’t get through the crowd, parked it on the sidewalk, and stormed off.

In de Hooglandsekerk Choorsteeg in Leiden vond ik het gedicht 'Een eeuw zonder je ouders' van Marianne van Velzen. #poëzie

Today is #koningsdag here in the Netherlands, and #Leiden is as busy as all the other cities today, despite the cold weather. The #HooglandseKerk had an amazing paper craft exhibition, providing a small respite from the celebrations that are ramping up for tonight.
The Breestraat in Leiden, looking down the middle of the street which has the City Hall on the left and the street is filled with revellers wearing orange under grey skies. Black and grey paper sculpture with tesselated diamonds and stars, in bas relief illuminated from above.

Then you’re near to the coldest place on earth! (Used to live nr Jan Steen’s house: a lovely area- saw a gig in there once.) Bonte Koe is in order: head towards the Hooglandsekerk via the bottom end of the Rap, Bonte Koe round the corner.

The Hooglandsekerk in the old town of Leiden is an unusual half-finished lump of stone, consisting of one of the biggest Gothic choirs and transepts in the Netherlands, and a half-finished nave culminating in a tiny Romanesque tower.

📸 by me #Photography #Netherlands #architecture #dacapotravels
You can clearly see the massive size difference between the transept of the church to the right (with a length of 65,70 meters, the longest transept in the Netherlands) and the unfinished nave to the left. The clerestory of the nave was never built. You can see that the nave ends in one half of a bricked-up gothic arch, implying it was supposed to be much longer than it is. The tiny tower is a remnant of the Romanesque predecessor of the current church. The massive transept and choir of the Gothic Hooglandse Kerk in Leiden, the Netherlands, stands mostly empty. The protestant congregation that currently uses the building is small enough to fit in the small, unfinished nave of the building. The choir is regularly used for conferences, concerts, book markets, and other events. Most of the current structure dates from the fifteenth century. The brick church was dedicated to St. Pancras and today serves parishioners of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands. These only use the small unfinished nave of the church. The wooden vault in the nave hides an elaborate Renaissance triforium that was supposed to supporta clerestory that was never built.
