Kathedraal

11 The Cathedral of Our Lady's construction began in 1352, and ended in 1518, resulting in the largest Gothic church in the Netherlands. Learn its amazing history, from the 'iconoclastic fury' of 1566 that destroyed much of the interior, to the repairs that discovered beautiful murals beneath the whitewashed walls. The cathedral was furnished with renaissance, baroque, rococo and classical works of art which were plundered by French revolutionaries, though many were returned. The exceptional stained-glass windows are 16th and 17th century. Admission is EUR1 for adults; free for children.
