# Nieuwe Kerk (The Hague)

The Nieuwe Kerk (Dutch pronunciation:; English: New Church) is a Dutch Baroque Protestant church in The Hague, located across from the modern city hall on the Spui. It was built in 1649 after the Great Church had become too small. Construction was completed in 1656.

## History

The church was designed by the architect Peter Noorwits, who was assisted by the painter and architect Bartholomeus van Bassen. The church is considered a highlight of the early Protestant church architecture in the Netherlands. Like many churches of that time was the New Church, a central building. Unlike other central building, the church is no simple circular or multifaceted plan but there is a space of two octagonal sections which are connected by a slightly smaller proportion in which the pulpit was prepared. The Dutch Baroque architecture of the church shows elements of both Renaissance and Classicism. Two church bells by Coenraat Wegewaert in 1656 hang in their original bell-chairs, 100,2 cm and 81,5 cm in diameter. He also designed the clock.
The church has an organ built by the Dutch organ builder Johannes Duyschot (1645–1725) in 1702. The construction has left most of the pipework and the case. The organ was rebuilt in 1867 by one of the best organ builders of that time, the business of Christian Gottlieb Friedrich Witte. They adjusted the design of the organ to make it suitable for modern Romantic music.
Up until these canals in The Hague were filled in at the end of the 19th century, the church was accessed by boat or from the Wagenstraat on a square island between the Spui river, the St. Anthonisburgwal or Rotterdam Veerkade (the old trekschuit route to Rotterdam), the Stille Veerkade or Amsterdam Veerkade (the old trekschuit route to Amsterdam), and the Paviljoensgracht.

## Concert hall

In the 20th century, acoustical adjustments were made to the interior in a modern face. In the thirties the church was notable as the most impressive building on the Spui, which was one of the streets in the Dutch game of Monopoly. The church was closed in 1969 after a long restoration and reopened as a concert hall.

## Famous burials

The Nieuwe Kerk, or new church (first half 17th century), contains the tombs of the brothers De Witt and of the philosopher Spinoza. Spinoza's tomb is in the churchyard.

Keith Jerrold Gary (born September 14, 1959) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL). Gary was selected in the first round, 17th overall, by the Pittsburgh Steelers out of the University of Oklahoma in the 1981 NFL draft, but didn't sign and went to play two seasons with the Montreal Alouettes and Montreal Concordes of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He then played six seasons with the Steelers. Before his time at the University of Oklahoma, Gary played college football at Ferrum College.
He is perhaps best known for committing one of the most infamous facemask penalties in NFL history. During a Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals in 1983, Gary grabbed quarterback Ken Anderson, ripping at his facemask and knocking Anderson out of the game with a severe neck sprain early in the first quarter. Gary was penalized on the play, but not ejected, and later fined by the NFL for the facemask penalty that left Anderson, who would miss the Bengals next three games, without feeling below the neck. Anderson had completed all five of his passes for 60 yards before being knocked out of the game. Later in the same game he was penalized for a late hit on Bengals back up quarterback Turk Schonert.
According to reporting in The Oklahoman, Cincinnati Bengals General Manager, Paul Brown, who until 1983 had worked in high school, college, and professional football for 53 years, described Gary's facemask penalty to be "as vicious a play as he had ever seen."

## Personal Life

Gary was born in Bethesda, Maryland, and attended Chantilly High School in Chantilly, Virginia.

## Production

The film was shot at Eilean Donan in Scotland in late 1979. The budget of £25,000 was given to Roger Christian by an Eady Scheme fund from the British government.
According to Christian, the step-printing technique (in which frames are duplicated to slow action) he employed for a fight sequence influenced George Lucas to include the same method in a scene of The Empire Strikes Back.

## Release and rediscovery

George Lucas tied the film as a programme with The Empire Strikes Back in the United Kingdom, Australia and Scandinavia. It was never released on any home media, such as VHS and DVD, and for many years the original negatives were believed to be lost.

On 13 October 2013, it was screened for the first time since its original release, and became available on Netflix and the iTunes Store for streaming and download, respectively, in early 2014.
