The Great Church or St. James's Church (Dutch: Grote- of Sint-Jacobskerk, pronounced [ˌɣroːtə ʔɔf sɪɲˈtɕaːkɔpsˌkɛr(ə)k]) is a landmark Reformed Protestant church in The Hague, Netherlands. The building is located on the Torenstraat, named for its high tower. Together with the Binnenhof, it is one of the oldest buildings in The Hague. Members of the House of Orange-Nassau have been baptised and married there. The latest are King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and his daughter and heir apparent Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange.
