St. Martin's Church (also Grote kerk or Martinikerk; [1] West Frisian: Martinitsjerke) is a Protestant church in Bolsward, Netherlands, and one of the medieval churches in Friesland. The current church was built between 1446 [1] [2] and 1461, [1] the small medieval church which stood at that location previously was demolished to build the new one. [2] The tower of the church was built in the 15th century and the gabled roof was added in the 17th century. [1] It became a Protestant church during the Reformation. There was a major renovation which, apart from work on the tower, ended in 1955. [2]
The church is located at the Groot Kerkhof 24 in the centre of Bolsward. [3]
It was listed as a Rijksmonument in 1968. [4] It remains in active use, with a weekly Sunday service. [5]
