The Pieterskerk is a late-Gothic church in Leiden dedicated to Saint Peter. In around 1100 the site held the county chapel of the counts of Holland, rebuilt in 1121 - the present building took approximately 180 years to build, starting in 1390. The building was deconsecrated in 1975 and is managed since then by a foundation and rented for a wide variety of events.

 |
The organ was built in 1642.
