Grote of Martinikerk
As a result of the Reformation, the church passed into Protestant hands in 1580. The interior was austere;  altars and statues disappeared, and  the organ was no longer allowed to be used. An organ as an accompaniment instrument did not come into vogue again until the end of the 17th century. Until then, the psalms were sung, supported by a cantor. In the 17th century, the church was also decorated with paintings and text plates.
