Interior

Apart from the magnificent stained glasses there is a lot more to see in the church. From the Middle Ages onwards there were people buried in the church. Therefore, the floors are covered by tombstones often decorated with beautiful carvings. Then there are the burial chapels. In which rich citizens had themselves buried. They had to pay all the expenses, including the front, made of wood, marble or sandstone, often richly decorated. They are to be found under windows 8, 11 and 18. The heavy forged iron gates under window 1 were used to fence off the graves of the rich Van der Does family. At the wall is a model showing what it looked like in the past. Fixed on the walls were the ‘grave boards’ with the family arms.

And mentioned before the church features two beautiful organs. A Francois Moreau instrument dating 1732-1736 and a choir organ from 1975. On these instruments many organ concertos are given. (see too on "Organ")

Finally, there is the beautiful choir screen from 1782, the small pulpit under window 22 dating from1776 and the main pulpit surrounded by the baptismal screen from 1810.
