St Bavo's Church, better known as the Grote Kerk, is Haarlem's icon. This image shows its imposing silhouette in evening light, seen from across the Spaarne. The warm lights of the city gently reflect in the water, while the clear evening sky makes the church stand out even more.
The Grote Kerk is not only a religious structure, but also a landmark that has defined the cityscape for centuries. This composition focuses on tranquillity and balance: the reflection in the water, the symmetry of the facades, and the soft contrast between natural and artificial light.
This work captures Haarlem in a hushed, almost timeless way. Ideal for lovers of city photography, architecture and Dutch culture. It fits beautifully in a modern interior, at the office or in a space where you want to combine tranquillity and recognition.
