A lovely church with impressive high ceilings and large organ. Many stain glass windows and small side chapel/tombs with ornate carved stone lids. It was a bigger church than I expected and holds one of the first Dutch translations of the Bible.

It is a 300-years old windmill, which had been restored about 7 years ago. You can go on the "balcony" for 1 euro. On the groundfloor you can purchase the cookies, flour and nice souvenirs. The personnel was very kind and friendly. While going up to the top, you will meet nice workers who are ready to tell you anything they know about this windmill. The view on Maas and Dordrecht from the balcony is breathtaking!
