Stevenskerk, inspiring meeting place for art, culture and contemplation. Construction of the church started halfway the 13th century. In 1273 the church was consecrated by Albert Magnus, the Bishop of Cologne. Of this Roman Gothic church the groundwork and the most Western bays of the ship remain. Extensive construction took place in the course of the 15th century, among others the choir and the chapels. In the 16th century work was done on the transept and small part of the ship. After about 1650 construction stopped, which left the church unfinished. The tower was fitted with a new clock floor in the 15th century. During the bombing on Nijmegen February 22nd 1944, a large part of the tower collapsed. The South-Western part of the church was heavily damaged. Also in the period during the Second World War where Nijmegen was on the front the church incurred a lot of damage. After the WWII the church was thoroughly renovated.

We went to see and hear the Royal Nijmegan men's choir with Amira Willighagen. It was a great evening. The choir members are so friendly and helpful. Amira was absolutely out of this world. The church was a great setting for the event. It is as big as a cathedral and stunningly beautiful

The church has a lot of history that is definitely worth seeing. The entry fee is quite small and can be combined with the chained library, librije COVID rules are sensibly applied

I recently visited the small charming hanseatic town of Doesburg and I entered the big church,known as Martinikerk ,a late gothic basilica ,erected from medieval bricks.It was bulit in the 15 /16 century and of course it was restorated .I really liked the old pulpit dating from 1610,the cast -iron windows in and near the choir.There was an exhibition inside with photos about the church ,but only in Dutch....The 95 tower is the third highest tower in Netherlands,but in 1945 ,a day before Doesburg was liberated ,the occupying forces blew it up .The process of restoration started in 1959.I understood that only part of the bells and the carillon remained intact.Today the old clock was added to the war monument near Grote Kerk .

The Big or Eusebius Church in Arnhem has dominated the skyline of the city of Arnhem for more than five centuries now and tells the history of the capital of the province of Gelderland from the Middle Ages until the Second World War and the post-war reconstruction. The Eusebius Church is both historical and contemporary and is frequently used for various activities and events. Get fascinated by the history of the Eusebius Church. Discover the historical objects, the famous Strumphler-organ in the beautiful Church Hall and return to the year 1000 in the crypts. The unique panoramic elevator takes you past one of Europe’s largest and heaviest carillons up to 73 meters high, where you can enjoy a panoramic view over Arnhem and its surroundings. The Eusebius Church regularly organizes (temporary) exhibitions on the history of the Eusebius Church.

St. Eusebius church also known as the Eusebiuskerk or the Grote Kerk, at 93 metres is the largest church, and the largest building in Arnhem, The Netherlands. [1] Notably the building contains an elevator that was added to the church in 1994, which allows visitors to travel to the top of the spire and view the city of Arnhem from its highest point. More intriguing perhaps, visitors can also enter the crypt at the rear of the church which contains a number of full skeletons lying in state, in the darkness of the church's crypt.

Visited the Koepelkerk twice, once for a free concert. The church has been renovated to a very high standard and has become a cultural meeting place. I joined a women's choir and one day later enjoyed a free concert. The sound is good, the location fabulous and the church holds many memories for me. A fantastic visit.
