Architectural Marvel: Large Church Breda

Large Church Breda, with its striking tall spire reaching 97 meters, is a prominent example of Brabantine Gothic architecture.

Constructed between 1410 and 1547, this church originally served the Catholic faith and is now a site for Protestant worship. The church is historically significant due to its impressive size and the remnants of elaborate murals, still evident despite the iconoclasm that impacted many works of art during the Reformation.
