Grote of Sint-Catharijnekerk

Voorne aan Zee, NL

This massive church would have been the largest in Holland of that time, but the structure was never completed. Building started in 1417 but the last bricks were added in 1482, when only the main nave and a 57 meter tower was completed. A stained glass window depicts the wedding of William of Orange

and his third wife, which took place here in 1575, after the church was looted and turned into a Protestant church during the Dutch Reformation. It's possible to climb the stairs of the tower, for a nice view over town.
