The Great Church in the Market Square.
The church was built in 1895-1897 to the design of J.A.G. van der Steur in neo-Gothic architectural style. The building is a rare example of this architectural style for a Protestant church. The church was built after the church that previously stood on the same site was destroyed by fire. The tower is based on the lost predecessor from the 16th century. A striking detail is that when it was rebuilt in 1895-1897, the design was mirrored in relation to the original, destroyed church. So before the fire, the tower was on the west side, but the current tower is on the east side of the church building. Van der Steur was an architect who built in a variety of historic styles. The windows have flamboyant tracery. On the buttresses are so-called pinnacles.
The church building was owned by the Dutch Reformed Church, but since the merger it has been owned by the Protestant Municipality Schagen. The tower is owned by the civil municipality Schagen.
