A Historical Gem: Stevenskerk

Located in the heart of Nijmegen, Stevenskerk offers a glimpse into the city’s rich ecclesiastical history. Did you know this church's construction began in the 13th century?

The church was consecrated in 1273 by Albert Magnus, Bishop of Cologne. Its Roman Gothic architecture is notable, with the groundwork and the western bays of the ship preserved.
