Kampen - Outer Church

(Local Name: Buitenkerk) At the north end of Kampen's old town is the Buitenkerk or Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk (Outer Church, Church of Our Lady; R.C.). The original cruciform church (14th C.) was converted around 1450 into a hall-church (with aisles of the same height as the nave). Particularly impressive are the round columns with Brabantine leaf capitals and the octagonal sacristy - a feature unique in the Netherlands.
