Broerekerk, located in the town of Bolsward in the Netherlands, is a fascinating blend of history and modern architecture. Originally built in the 13th century, this old Franciscan church suffered severe fire damage in 1980. Instead of letting it fall to ruins, a striking glass roof was added in 2006, transforming it into a unique and atmospheric ruin.

Burned down in the 1980s, later fitted with a glass roof. Nice location for photos. A living nativity scene at Christmas.

Fascinating ruins of ages gone by. Take a good look at some of the grave stones located on the floor in back of the church. Some dating back to the early 17th century. The fountain in front of the church (named "The Bat") is one of 11 fountains in 11 different cities in Friesland.
