⛪ St. Catherine's Church, Brielle: The Unfinished Giant The Sint-Catharijnekerk (St. Catherine's Church) is not only the landmark of the historic fortified town of Brielle, but also an impressive testament to medieval ambition. Had it been completed as planned, it would be one of the largest churches in the Netherlands today. Why a stop here is worthwhile: The "stump" tower: Even from afar, you can see the striking tower without a spire. Due to a lack of funds in the 15th century, it remained at a height of 57 meters. This gives the church its unique, almost defiant silhouette. The view: During the season, you can climb the 317 steps of the tower. At the top, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic panorama of the star-shaped fortifications, the harbor, and the expansive polder landscape.

At the top, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic panorama of the star-shaped fortifications, the harbor, and the vast polder landscape. ... Pure history: Brielle was the first city to be liberated from the Spanish by the Watergeuzen in 1572. The church breathes this eventful history of Dutch independence.
