Worth knowing about churches in The Hague
Nieuwe Kerk: In the 18th century there were tombs and mourning plates in the church. The mourning signs had to be removed in 1795 by order of the French rulers. A dozen tombstones have been placed in the walls of the basement. The tomb of Baruch Spinoza is located in the church garden.
Grote Kerk: Church with a royal history. Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard married here, just like Princess Margriet and Pieter van Vollenhoven forty years later. Princess Beatrix was baptized here in 1938, and her son in 1967. On May 19, 2001, the wedding of Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien followed. On June 12, 2004, the baptism of Princess Catharina-Amalia took place in the Grote Kerk, amid great interest and with many royal guests.
