It contains some beautiful stained glass windows, a large organ and many other works of art. The nave of the church is 65 meters long and 30 meters wide, giving it an enormous sense of space and grandeur. The Grote Kerk has a rich history. It was originally built as a Catholic church, but after the Reformation it was taken over by the Protestants. In the 17th century, the church was used as a military warehouse.

Wat deze beklimming zo bijzonder maakte, was de deskundige stadsgids die ons vergezelde. Terwijl we omhoog klommen, vertelde de gids fascinerende verhalen over de geschiedenis van de toren en de stad Breda. Ik was vooral onder de indruk van de gedetailleerde uitleg over de Nassauklok.
Een hoogtepunt van de beklimming was het bereiken van de voormalige torenwachterskamer. Het was ongelooflijk om me voor te stellen hoe torenwachters hier ooit de stad en de omgeving in de gaten hielden. De sfeer was bijna tastbaar, en ik kon me gemakkelijk voorstellen hoe het leven in vroegere tijden moet zijn geweest.

Almost everyone has been to a church at some point. To pray, but often also because there is a lot to see, such as beautiful stained glass, statues and decorated altars. And not only is a church interesting from the inside, the outside is also often worth photographing.
