The current form of Delft's Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) was started in 1396. The tower is the 2nd tallest in The Netherlands. Erected in 1872, it stands 108.75 meters high, and if you are interested in the view you can walk the 356 steps to the top.
Sorry, you won't be seeing any photos from the top of the tower on this blog. You'll have to be content with the ground level view.
The Nieuwe Kerk holds the crypt of the royal family and the memorial tomb of Willem I.

I had a colleague who lived right to the left (as in the photo) of this church. He made good money when prins Claus and prins Bernhard died by renting out his window to tv stations :)
amazing church and tower--ok if i ever get to see this, i'll do the stairs (well maybe :)
Beautiful church it is. Good shot, the clouds are looking great.
Beautiful church; an impressive tower!
wow....that is pretty and pretty tall!!!
I always think of the people who had to build those monuments at the time. What a lot of work. It is a beautiful church.
