Wonderful views from a historic church
In de Grote Kerk komt erfgoed op een betoverende manier tot leven. Via 3D soundscapes, wervelende projecties en caleidoscopische animaties. Stap zelf de geschiedenis in en schrijf mee aan nieuwe verhalen. De Grote Kerk Veere is een stenen reus in een piepklein stadje. Met ramen van baksteen. En grafzerken als vensterbanken. De kerk zit vol met raadsels en geheimen. Waarom is het gebouw nooit afgemaakt? Wat is er hier allemaal gebeurd? Stap zelf in de geschiedenis. En ontdek het verhaal van Mary, de verdwenen Schotse prinses. Onderzoek de legende van de Veerse mummiekat. Luister mee met de koortsdromen van een gewonde Franse soldaat. Laat een eigen herinnering achter aan de schrijftafel van Nescio. En duik diep in de duizelingwekkende penseelstreken van beroemde schilders. Word ook verliefd op Veere, in de Grote Kerk.

Awesome from the outside, disappointing from the inside.
The Church looks amazing and very spectacular at the outside. It looks so colossal that you really want to look inside what there is inside of it. There is a entrance price of €9,- p.p. I have to say if you can see a lot of things it would be worth it, but for us it was not. Inside there are a few things to see. Like you can walk all the way into the tower to see a floor reflection what is okay to see but not very informative. Then if you walk further you can see a great view above Veere what is cool. In the church itself there is the same as on top of the tower and some hanging ships. Oh and a dead cat. So if a have to rate it in categories: Church, inside, and price it would be: Church: 8,5. As it looks amazing from the outside. It’s so big and maybe a bit mysterious you really want to look inside to see what’s going on in there. Inside 4.5. It really isn’t worth it to get in. Especially not for that price. There is not much to see and it isn’t very informative as you expect. The only thing why you maybe want to get in is because of the view on top of the church. Price 4. Like I said when you pay €9.- you expect to see something cool or informative. You know you see the church as it is so big and it looks spectacular so you wanna see what’s inside but when you pay the entrance it is just disappointing. Conclusion: Watch the church from the outside as it is free. As cool and awesome as it looks at the outside so disappointed is it at the inside. Unless if you really wanna go on top or see a dead cat from the 15th century and you wanna pay €9,- for it I should say let’s go. My final rating; 5,7.

Enormous plump building
There is little left of the church's interior. The building served many purposes including a hospital, a stable for horses.In fact there is nothing more than the original walls. A long climb of the tower offers a fantastic panorama. The building is used for art exhibitions and concerts.
