This magnificent cathedral took over 300 years to build. It boasts an impressive 115 meters in length and a 73-meter-high tower. Its exterior is remarkably ornately decorated.

One of only seven basilicas in the Netherlands, but certainly one of the most beautiful! I recommend a tour inside and out. It's simply worth seeing. The windows are beautifully detailed, illuminated from the inside in the sunshine. The light also illuminates certain details on the walls and ceiling. Be sure to bring your time!

Beautiful Gothic cathedral - be sure to walk around it and look at it from the back!

Along the Parklaan, against and hanging over the city wall, stands a Weichsel tree. That is the Dutch name for the tree that is called Weichselbaum in German. It is related to the Sour cherry. At the time - around 1900 - this tree grew together with the elms that stood along the Parklaan. A grid has been placed around the base of the tree, which serves for optimal ventilation and ensures that the subsoil does not become compacted. The text Weichsel tree on it also has an educational value. The design comes from the Oslo agency with Martien van Osch. Source: bastionoranje.nl
