Tower of Our Lady, Gothic church tower in Amersfoort, Netherlands
The Tower of Our Lady rises 98 meters into the sky, constructed from brick with Gothic architectural elements that define its structure.
Built in 1470, the tower survived a gunpowder explosion in 1787 that destroyed the attached church, leaving only this remarkable spire standing.
The tower received recognition as a Rijksmonument, marking its status as a protected national heritage site in the Netherlands.
Located a fifteen-minute walk from Amersfoort train station, the tower functions as a central reference point for navigating through the medieval district.
The structure served as the original coordinate zero point for the Dutch national grid reference system, established between 1885 and 1904.
