29 novembre St. Joseph kerkDeze kerk is op 1 januari 1910 in gebruik genomen. Het ontwerp is van de beroemde kerkenbouwers en leerlingen van P.J.H. Cuypers de gebroeders Margry,. De kerk is geheel in neogotische stijl gebouwd, wat te zien is aan de plaatsing van de torens en de gewelven.
De kerk is fraai gesitueerd en bezit mooie gebrandschilderde ramen. Het beeld van Christus is in 1948 geplaatst ter herinnering aan in de oorlog omgekomen Alkmaarders. Hun namen staan vermeld op een gedenkplaat aan de muur van de kerk. This church was put in use in 1910. Designed by famous church builders and students of PJH Cuypers, the Margry brothers. The church is built in neo-gothic style, which shows by the way the towers are placed and by the arched roofs. The church is placed beautifully and is in possession of wonderful stained glass windows. The statue of Christ has been placed in 1948, in memory of Alkmaar war-victims. Their names are placed on a memorial plaque on the churches wall. ![]() 25 novembre Evangelish Lutherse kerkDe Lutherse kerk werd gebouwd in 1692. Het eenvoudige exterieur herinnert eraan, dat de Lutherse kerk als schuilkerk begonnen is. Het inwendige is echter, zoals bij Lutherse kerken gebruikelijk, veel rijker. Zo wordt de ruimte overdekt door een houten tongewelf met een verhoogd middenveld. Voorts zijn er een fraaie preekstoel met bijbehorende banken en een rijk bewerkt tochtportaal uit de bouwtijd.Tot de bijzonderheden behoort het schitterende orgel uit 1754, voorzien van rococo snijwerk en bovenop een zwaan: symbool van Luther en de Lutheranen. Het orgel werd vermoedelijk gebouwd door de Pieter Müller, zoon van de bekende orgelbouwer Christian Müller.
The Lutheran church was built in 1692. The simple exterior reminds the fact that the Lutheran church started as a shelter church. The interior however, as known with Lutheran churches, is much richer. The space is covered by an arched roof with a higher midfield. Further more there are a beautiful pulpit with appropriate seats and a rich decorated draft portal (1692). Special is the wonderful organ from 1754, with rococo woodcarving and on top a swan: symbol of Luther and the Lutheran. The organ was probably built by Pieter Müller. Son of the well known organ builder Christian Müller
![]() 06 novembre De grote kerk/ the big church
Inrichting Sint Laurenskerk De grote kerk:Het grootste middeleeuwse kerkgebouw in de Alkmaarse binnenstad werd al tijdens de bouw vanwege de omvang kortweg Grote Kerk genoemd. De Grote Kerk is van oudsher niet alleen het grootste en hoogste kerkgebouw in Alkmaar, maar ook de Kerk die door de eeuwen heen het meest in aanzien heeft gestaan en die steeds weer alom als sieraad van de stad is geroemd. Oorspronkelijk was het gebouw gewijd aan Sint Laurens, vandaar dat de Kerk al eeuwen Lang als de Sint Laurenskerk wordt aangeduid. Bouwstijl
The big church During building the largest medieval church in Alkmaar, the church was already called the big church, because of its size. The big church is not only the largest and highest church in Alkmaar, but also the church which trough the centuries, stood most and called the jewel of the city. Originally the church was dedicated to Saint Laurens. That’s why, for centuries, the church is called The Saint Laurenschurch.
Construction style The church was probably designed by architect Anthonius Keldermans (Belgium) (1440-1512) Beside Anthonius Keldermans brother, also his son was involved in the disign of the church, in which 26 freestanding columns support the roof. The Saint Laurens church is a basilica, The outside walls rest on a fundation which is just below the ground. Built in the Brabant’s gothic style, which is bigger and more massive in its form than the French gothic. The building is 35 meters high and has a cross length of 85x56 meters. The outside walls rest on a one meter broad foundation which is just below thethe ground, and gradually becomes broader to a depth of tree meters. The last resauration of in-and exterieur was accomplished in 1996
Beroemde orgels
The large saint Laurens church counts two, world famous organs: Van Covelens organ (also called choir organ) and it VanHagerbeer/Schnitger or large organ. The choir organ descends from 1511 and has been placed against the northern wall of the church. The last restoration of this old, still playable, organ in the Netherlands, was completed in the year 2000. In 1636 arose the idea for the construction of a large organ in the church. Several organ builders have worked on it, but in 1645 Jacobus Caltus van Hagerbeer completed the large organ. Jacob Van Campen devised the organ cupboard and in 1643 Caesar Van Everdingen got the task to paint the doors of the organ cupboard with the ‘triomfe van den Coninck Saul’. This painting belongs to his first large work. Above the organ the painter Romeyn de Hooghe painted in baroque striking, (‘de deugd, die de ondeugd verplettert’)" virtue crushing the vice". From 1723 up to 1725 the large organ was restored and extended by Frans Caspar Schnitger. In course of time there have been several restorations on this organ.
