But "big impressive church" is the perhaps best translation of "hoofdkerk".
wat is een kathedraal?
Het woord kathedraal stamt af van het Latijnse woord cathedralis, en wordt
gebruikt om de hoofdkerk van een bisdom aan te duiden; dit is de kerk waar
de bisschopszetel (in het Latijn cathedra) staat. In sommige talen is het
woord 'dom' (in het Latijn domus) synoniem voor kathedraal; het betekent
altijd ‘bisschoppelijke hoofdkerk’.
