Talk:Vrouwekerk

Church name translation
Wouldn't "Our beloved Lady's Church" be a moer accurate translation of  Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk? 75.41.110.200 (talk) 02:28, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No, that is a literal translation, not the name that is actually used in English. See Church of Our Lady - Jvhertum (talk) 11:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Vrouwekerk
While not being dutch, I find it strange that when searching for vrouwekerk wikipedia refers to this article, seeing as there also a vrouwekerk in Maastricht and probably in other cities of Holland (which are still standing!). I'm an angry bird. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.38.32.3 (talk) 10:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Those are actually called Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, not Vrouwekerk. As this article explains, the original name of this church was also Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk but it was shortened to Vrouwekerk following the Reformation because Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk was considered too Catholic-sounding.
