The Grote or St.-Bavokerk (Historic St.-Bavo Cathedral) is a late mediaeval church building located on the Grote Markt. It was dedicated to St Bavo until the Reformation. The mediaeval cruciform church (construction period 1370-1520), which stands in the middle of the city's old centre, is built in the Brabant Gothic architectural style. The church was built for Roman Catholic worship. In 1559, it became the cathedral of the newly established diocese of Haarlem. In the Grote of Sint-Bavokerk, there are about four hundred tombstones. In many tombstones are chiselled so-called house marks, simple marks or coats of arms of the graves' owners. Below the choir is the grave of the painter Frans Hals, other graves include that of Pieter Teyler.

The Haarlem Janskerk and the adjoining Jansklooster were built in the period 1310-1318 and until 1625 formed the Haarlem seat of the Commandery of Sint Jan, which was founded in 1310. The church was obviously built as a Catholic (monastic) church. But like many other churches, the Janskerk was seized by Protestants in the 16th century. First, the holding of masses in the church was completely banned in 1581. In 1587, the church was put into use for Reformed worship. The church held this function until 1930. Since 1936, the building has served as an archive and houses the public centre of the Noord-Hollands Archief. Two committees will simultaneously listen to a workshop here.

Committee:
Walking distance:
Days:
The mennonite are the Dutch branch of an originally radical Reformation movement of Protestant Christians, which split off in the early 16th century. They're usually referred to as 'Mennonites' or 'Brothers in Christ'. The so-called 'Great Vermaning' dates back to 1683. The drawings for this church building are attributed to the painter Jan de Bray. He was a colleague of Frans Hals. It is a hidden church that could not be seen from the street. However, through time and the efforts of Pieter Teyler and others two gates were built in the Frankestraat (1717) and the Grote Houtstraat (1757). The Teylers Museum was later created from Pieter Teyler's estate. The Heerenkamer is an original 1902 Art Nouveau and Amsterdam School style room.

Rechtbank Noord-Holland (Court of North-Holland) is one of the 11 district courts in the Netherlands. It is a historical building that truly symbolizes justice and peace at its finest. It was first built in 1890 and made purely to function as a courthouse. You can see this by reading the golden letters 'JUSTITIA' on the entry. The facade of the old courthouse now covers the modern glass courthouse behind it. The entire complex combined takes up almost an entire block. This building does not only serve as the courthouse for Haarlem, it serves the entire province. The ICJ will be having their first day of trial in this courthouse.

This historical building in the centre of Haarlem is easily recognizable. The oldest part of the town hall dates all the way back to 1370. It was first build to replace the count's castle. In the centuries that followed, the building was considerably rebuilt and expanded. In the 16th century, for instance, the nearby monastery was added to the building. In the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the building was further extended and renovated. This is reflected in the collection of different buildings and architectural styles. It now serves as the centrepiece of Haarlem, with a local market right in front of it every Saturday. The government of Haarlem has weekly meetings and debates in this building and the SC and G20 will debate in those very rooms.

Teylers Museum is named after Pieter Teyler van der Hulst (1702-1778), a wealthy Haarlem silk manufacturer and banker. Living in the Age of Enlightenment, he had a keen interest in art and science. Based on the idea that knowledge could enrich mankind, he created collections in both fields. This led to the construction of the Netherlands' first museum. The first hall was opened to visitors in 1784 and has remained virtually unchanged ever since. It has been open to the public continuously since 1784, where the collections can be seen in their authentic context. In 1996, a new wing was opened with a large exhibition hall, an educational pavilion and a museum café. All GAs will come together in this museum and discuss their process over the week.
