St Eusebius' Church, Arnhem, Gothic church in Arnhem, Netherlands
St Eusebius' Church is a Gothic structure in Arnhem featuring a 93-meter stone tower, intricate vaults, and pointed arches. The interior displays classic Gothic elements that have shaped the city's skyline for centuries.
The church suffered major damage during Operation Market Garden in 1944, with its tower collapsing during the war. Reconstruction efforts later combined wartime injuries with modern additions that became part of its character.
The church houses memorials for Allied paratroopers who fought during the Battle of Arnhem near the Rhine bridge. These remembrance spaces connect the sacred space with a significant chapter in the city's past.
An elevator in the tower provides access to two glass viewing platforms at different heights for visitors. From above, you get a panoramic view across Arnhem and the surrounding landscape.
The crypt beneath the church holds preserved human remains in dim underground chambers. These spaces show how past generations buried and honored their dead.
