The Grote Kerk or St.-Bavokerk is a Reformed Protestant church located on the central market square (Grote Markt) in the Dutch city of Haarlem.
The church was built in 1307. Prior to the Reformation, Grote Kerk was a Catholic cathedral after which it adopted the Reformed faith; at present, another Haarlem church called the Cathedral of Saint Bavo now serves as the main cathedral for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam.
