Magnificent tower
It took over 50 years to complete the construction of this wonderful gothic style tower. The finishing touch was made in 1517 when the spire was added. Ever since the 67m high tower dominates the city skyline. Note the amazing masonry serving to beautify the appearance of the tower. The adjacent church building is relatively new. It replaced an old structure in the 1850s. The tower can be climbed on Saturday afternoons (until end of September). Ticketprice 3.50€

Making up a bad lunch.. photo exhibition worth seeing
Near the river Merwede lies the city of Gorinchem in the middle of The Netherlands. We visited the church @ the market square and were welcomed by one of the church members. Beside the photo exhibition, you could see the changing room of the vicar and photos of his predecessors. We even discovered the seating row where my parents in law used to have their reserved seats. With coffee offered and available toilets, a nice, free look into this landmark.
