Grote Toren, Gothic tower in Breda, Netherlands.
The Grote Toren reaches a height of 97 meters and features intricate stone carvings throughout its architectural structure from base to spire.
Construction of the current tower began in 1468 after the original structure collapsed in 1457, with completion achieved in 1509 during the Renaissance period.
The tower remains an essential part of the Grote Kerk complex, where the Nassau ancestors of the Dutch royal family found their final resting place.
Guided tours allow visitors to climb nearly 60 meters up the tower, offering views across the historic center of Breda and the surrounding region.
The tower's spire underwent reconstruction in 1702 following a significant fire in 1694 that damaged the original medieval structure.
