Grote kerk, Gothic church monument in Breda, Netherlands.

The Grote Kerk stands 97 meters tall with a Latin cross layout, featuring an organ and dimension stone construction in the center of Breda.

Construction of the church began in 1410 with the choir section and underwent transformation from Catholic to Protestant worship following the 1566 Reformation.

The Prince Chapel contains vault paintings created by Italian artist Tommaso di Andrea Vincidor in 1533, displaying intricate details with gold leaf decorations.

The church accommodates 1100 people and provides digital interactive tours through smartphones without requiring application downloads for exploring the building's features.

Seventeen members of the Nassau-Breda dynasty rest in the Prince Chapel, connecting the church directly to the origins of the Dutch royal family.
