St. Catharinakerk, North Brabant Province, The Netherlands
4.5 (471 reviews) Spent Ranking #4 in Eindhoven Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals
Stunning and interesting
We had a few hours to kill in Eindhoven and with a train to catch we didnt want to leave the city centre. At 9am there was a lot not open yet (a Friday, a lot of stuff was opening at 10am) and saw the spires of the Cathedral when having a mint tea (with honey, try it!) so thought we would visit. This place is beautiful with beautiful paintings and stained glass. It also includes history which is really interesting. On display are excavated items with descriptions in English and Dutch, which are fascinating, especially the reconstructed child! Also old architectural drawings of the building. Worth a visit.

In the middle of Eindhoven
Located right in the middle at one end of the Stratumseinde where there are many bars; Kerkstraat for its many restaurants; the shopping street; and the Heuvel Gallerie. So it is a great landmark for orienting when in Eindhoven. I noticed a nice park bench on the one side of the church. Based on its usage, it has to be a great place to sleep. I found it O.K. (See photo). Give it a try.

Skeletal remains
On Catharinaplein is this historic Church with fine craftsmanship features and including a view of remnant crypts and skeletons. Very impressive spires and located next to many good cafés and restaurants. Recommended.
