Interior of the Sint-Odulphuskerk in Assendelft, 1649. Seen from the Choir to the West. Once a Catholic church, St Odulphus’s passed into Protestant hands at the start of the Dutch Revolt against Spain. A service is taking place. Worshippers are listening to the preacher on the right in the pulpit. Sermons are the main feature of a Protestant service. Saenredam came from Assendelft: his family name appears on a tombstone in the foreground.
