Oude Toren, Sint-Michielsgestel, Medieval church tower in Sint-Michielsgestel, Netherlands.
The tower stands at Petrus Dondersplein, constructed with alternating layers of brick and tuff stone, featuring diagonal buttresses and pointed arch niches.
Built around 1500, the tower remains from a 15th-century Gothic church that replaced earlier wooden and Romanesque structures dating back to the 10th century.
The structure represents Kempense Gothic architecture and holds national monument status as a Rijksmonument, marking its importance in Dutch architectural heritage.
Visitors can explore the tower grounds and enjoy refreshments at the adjacent Lunchcafé Toren4, which offers views of this historical structure.
During excavations in 1961, researchers discovered fourteen post holes from the original wooden church and a masonry vault with 13th-century wall paintings.
