Although it was built in the Gothic period, but the reformed church of Kootwijk is a
peculiar piece of architecture that doesn't let itself be classified
that easily. It's a single-aisled church from the 16th century, with a
tower and a choir which both are the same width as the nave. Nave and
choir are also very low. The tower is low also, but massive looking,
which suggests it was intended to be taller. Apart from the clearly
Gothic portal, the tower is decorated with shapes that are
more typical for the Romanesque style. From the outside the distinction
between nave and choir is invisible, except for the closure.
