The Old Dutch Church (''De Oude Hollandsche Kerk'') in [[Batavia]], later renovated and renamed the New Dutch Church (''De Nieuwe Hollandsche Kerk''), was one of the chief Protestant Churches in [[Batavia]] (headquarters of the [[Dutch East India Company]]; today, Jakarta, Indonesia). [[Jan Pieterzoon Coen]] and some 18 other governors-general of the Company and their relatives were buried in the church's graveyard. The site is today the Wayang Museum, a museum dedicated to Indonesian traditional puppet theatre.
The church was originally built in [[1640]]. Renovated in [[1732]] to [[1736]], it was then renamed the New Dutch Church. It was destroyed in an earthquake in [[1808]].
