The Sint Janskerk in Gouda, the Netherlands, is a large Gothic church, known especially for its stained glass windows, for which it has been placed on the UNESCO list of Dutch monuments.

The 1st. doorway to St. Janskerk is particularly beautiful. I just love that squat gothic arch. Baroque may have been spectacular and grandiose with all it's gold but for uplifting the soul, give me gothic any day.
Un classement mérité!
J'aime beaucoup la finesse des sculptures de la 1ère photo, et l'utilisation de la brique(peu courante en France)
Une expression Française "ça ne casse pas des briques" veut dire: "ce n'est pas extraordinaire"
Ici, c'est le contraire !
clearly a newere, or better refurbished, door than building - they actually looks a bit out of synch
What a beautiful door, the work of a real craftsman. Truly a lost art.
You often post pictures of Gouda Wil - do you live near to it?
«Louis» would like to see the stained glass in this church.
He thanks you for your contribution to Monday Doorways.
;-D
I really like the entrance in your first photo. The second entrance seems completely different. Was it added at a later date?
I love seeing the special UNESCO localities. They are all so wonderful. Thanks for St. Janskerk.
Such a beautiful doorway and lovely old church! Great captures as always, Wil! So much wonderful history and architecture in your part of our world! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful doorways.

I like both of those doorways very much. Interesting to see the different styles.
Beautiful doorways with lots of character - delightful!
A beautiful old place with great old doors, Wil.
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow when I meet up with Mara for a couple of days of exploring Alberta. I'm sure there will be photos!

Doorways are such interesting subjects, particularly the old one. I like your captures.
Outstanding entrances!
That's quite a place!
The main entry is quite impressive. I wonder how many craftsmen to day could recreate such work.
What an impressive church. I bet the stained glass windows look fabulous.
Intriguing old doorways and love the the style of the old church too! Lots of character!
Looks like a nice town, I have never been in Gouda !
Churches to me look all the same, there was such a lot of money spent on them while people were starving. Not the Christian way I suppose, lol !
I agree with Arija - Baroque is a bit too much.Churches seem to have the best doors, don't they?!
