What does the American founding fathers, Franklin D. Roosevelt and both Bush presidents have in common? The where all related to the British Pilgrim refugees that moved first to Leiden in 1609 before making the journey and history in the USA. This English church contains the dead body of the pastor of the Pilgrims, John Robinson . He was influential within the Pilgrim community of Leiden and the Dutch.

Anyone who charges 5€ entrance fee for a simple church should rethink his life and become a broker on Wall Street instead

Very cute town!!!with so many small and cosy restaurants and cafes.On different buildings' walls here you can find and read poems of the most popular poets in the world!?!

Very historic location . Beautifully preserved and presented!

Nice place where to have a break

This was unfortunately a tourist trap.. left me wondering what I paid 6 euros for. I guess I got a nice little booklet with some pictures. It was filled corner to corner with desks and chairs for upcoming exams… what a joke and disappointing.

Loved exploring Leiden and this was our biggest letdown. Extremely overpriced at 7 euros as there isn't actually much inside. Takes like 10 mins or less lol to go through the entire place. You can see the entire place and its bareness in a single glance once you enter. Should they even be charging for this? :/

Very interesting place. There is a cafe-cum-tourist office next to the church where you buy your tickets, the gentleman serving coffee was very friendly and helpful. Don't miss the exhibition about the Pilgrims (and the ancestry of Barack Obama on the last panel).

Lovely building. Former church now used for events. Concerts and University graduations 🎓.

It looks beautiful from outside but same as all others Churches from the inside.

During Corona measures, the main part of the church was open with the cafe as part of the main hall. There was a swing and it was really fun and very cosy. Now, the church has an entrance fee of 5 euros and the cafe is a separate room. I brought friends to enjoy the lovely experience and it just wasn't there anymore. The girls on the cafe were lovely but it wasn't the experience I'd previously had where families and friends sat together enjoying the main church hall together.

Nice old church. It is no longer in use as a church. It is used to organise events. The view from the top is very nice. Furthermore, there is a room used by the board of the church from the 1700's that is very beautifully designed. Also, the place has a watertap point.

It is a really nice building inside was pretty empty but still interesting.

Former Church, now in use for exhibitions, escape room, catering and ceremonial celebrations.

Amazing old cathedral in the centre of the city

There is a small entrance fee which I wasn't expecting and it is a bit empty inside. But it is very interesting to visit from a historical perspective and the entrance fee helps pay for restoration. It won't take up a huge amount of time so it's good to see alongside other Leiden attractions.

Lovely Church. At the cafe you get a free booklet containing details of the artefacts present in the church.

I was surprised to find a café, comfy sofas and a swing inside this beautiful church. If you didn't get to visit the Lakenhal museum, take the time to read the panels, you'll learn a good deal of history !

Very nice old church, it’s empty and has been transformed into an events space. 4 euros ticket to visit. The interior is very well maintained

Magnificent organ! There's also a second one much smaller. The big church is completely empty which feels quite strange. It also enable you to see all the tomb stone on the floor.

Very nice church on a beautiful square.

Wonderful and historical place. The idea of making it a coffee shop is fabulous.

Gothic master piece.

Huge old church, with a superb organ. Very nice all the surrounding area. Must visit.
