What to expect from the Laurenskerk Rotterdam

The Laurenskerk is a symbol of resilience and history. Built between 1449 and 1525, and largely destroyed during the 1940 bombing, the church was painstakingly rebuilt in the 1950s. Today, it stands as a place where history and culture meet. Visitors can climb the 65-metre-high tower for a panoramic view of Rotterdam or admire the magnificent Marcussen organ — the largest mechanical church organ in Europe. Inside, you’ll find ornate tombs, gravestones, and artworks that reflect the city’s rich past. In addition to church services, the Laurenskerk regularly hosts concerts, lectures, and cultural events. With its central location next to the Markthal, Blaak Station, and Museumpark, it’s an ideal stop during a day in Rotterdam.
