St. John's Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands

The Sint-Janskathedraal stands 73 meters tall with a length of 115 meters and width of 62 meters, accommodating 1500 visitors within its brick walls.

Construction of the initial Romanesque church began in 1220, transforming into a collegiate church by 1366 and receiving cathedral status in 1559 with the establishment of 's-Hertogenbosch diocese.

The cathedral houses a Renaissance organ from 1618, recognized as one of the most significant musical instruments in the Netherlands through centuries of modifications.

The cathedral underwent extensive restoration between 1998 and 2010, requiring an investment of 48 million euros to preserve its architectural features.

Modern sculptures integrate contemporary elements into the medieval structure, including an angel holding a mobile phone among traditional religious artworks.
