Nijmegen - Grote Kerk or St Stevenskerk
|
|
The building of the Grote Kerk or St Stevenskerk began around 1260, and the first tower was built in 1307. Little remains from this early period. Around 1400 the nave was rebuilt, and this was followed by the magnificent choir with its ambulatory and ring of chapels, the aisled transepts, the Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher and the south doorway, all complete by around 1560. Beside the church is a square tower (1593) with an octagonal belfry (1604) and an 18th century carillon.
