Sightseeing
The Sint-Janskerk of Gouda is a beautiful large cross church in the center of the city. At 123 meters, the church is the longest church in the Netherlands. However, this does not stand out because the church is hidden behind some monumental buildings. Only in the church do you notice the greatness of the church. The church is famous for its stained glass windows. These windows largely date from the sixteenth century. With this, the church owns the majority of the sixteenth century glass that is still present in the Netherlands. During the reformation, a large part of the interior of the church was demolished. Fortunately, the windows were spared. The church is open to the public and can be visited at an entrance.

The Museum Port of Gouda is a unique piece of historical heritage in the city. In the harbor you can mainly find ships that belong to the so-called brown fleet. These are ships that were mainly used on the former Zuiderzee and on the Wadden Sea. These ships are still used on the current IJsselmeer. There are around twenty-two historic ships in the harbor, all in excellent condition. You will learn more about the different ships through various signs on shore. A number of these ships can be rented for parties.
