Gilde de Baronie: Tower Climb Grote Kerk

The over 97-meter-high tower of the Grote of Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk in Breda was built between 1468 and 1509 in the Brabant Gothic style. At 60 meters high, you have a stunning view over the historic city center and the surrounding area of Breda.

You ascend the tower via a spiral staircase. The city guide provides explanations about the sights inside the medieval tower, such as the Nassau bell weighing 3500 kg and the former tower guards' room. Of course, the guide can also tell you more about interesting buildings in the city at your feet.

For safety reasons, a minimum age of 12 years applies for the tower climb. 

Tip: From 16 July to 21 August, there are also evening climbs up the Grote Toren on Thursdays and Fridays at 8 pm.
