Oude Kerk

Soest, NL

Oude Kerk

This church has origins as old as the 11th century, but its current shape was mostly built in the mid-14th century. Originally called the Petrus and Paulus church, it became known as the Old Church when a newer church was created in the 1850's and given the same name. The tower was added in the 15th

century and is about 45,5 meters high. The interiors were almost entirely lost in an 1875 fire, but the large bell in the tower was made in 1506, and is one of the oldest of its kind in the country.
