Edam suffered two very extensive fires in 1602 and 1699, both of which had been caused by lightning striking the church tower. When rebuilt, the height of the tower was purposely reduced. It has also special features, for example, the stained glass windows, the wooden vaulted ceiling, the hieroglyphs on the gravestones in the floor, the beautiful oak choir screen, the fine brass work distributed around the church and the great organ. You have to visit this beautiful church once in a lifetime!
