Tower of Our Lady, Gothic church tower in Amersfoort, Netherlands
The Tower of Our Lady is a brick structure with Gothic architectural features that rises approximately 98 meters high. The building displays characteristic Gothic elements throughout its design and now stands as an independent monument in the old city center.
The tower was built around 1470 as part of a larger religious complex that no longer exists. A gunpowder explosion in 1787 destroyed the attached church, but this tower remained standing.
The tower has shaped the skyline for centuries and serves as a visual focal point for residents. Its brick facade and Gothic details are woven into daily life, defining how people experience the medieval district.
The tower is roughly a 15-minute walk from the main train station, making it easy to reach on foot. It serves as a helpful orientation point when exploring the medieval streets of the old city.
The tower served as the reference point for the Dutch national grid system between 1885 and 1904. From this location, surveyors coordinated the mapping and measurement of the entire country.
