Lange Jan, Middelburg, Church tower in Middelburg, Netherlands.
The Lange Jan tower rises 90 meters above Middelburg, featuring an octagonal base structure and a decorative crown at its summit point.
The religious tower, constructed in the first half of the 14th century, endured multiple fires in 1476, 1512, 1568, 1712, and 1940 throughout its existence.
The tower earned Middelburg residents the nickname 'Maneblussers' after firefighters responded to a false alarm caused by moonlight reflecting on the structure.
Visitors can climb 207 steps to reach the observation point, which provides views of Middelburg and surrounding Zeeland villages on clear weather days.
The lower section of the tower maintains its original 14th-century octagonal design, while the upper portion displays a distinguished keizer crown structure.
