About Grote Kerk

The Grote Kerk or Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk (Church of Our Lady) is the most vital landmark and a point of interest of Breda. The congregation is worked in the Brabantine Gothic style. The pinnacle of the congregation is 97 meters tall. The arrangement is in the state of a Latin Cross.

The Prinsenkapel (Prince church) north of the choir is the old tomb of the House of Orange-Nassau, progenitors of the Dutch Royal Family. The sanctuary was worked from 1520 until 1525 on requests of the Lord of Breda, Henry III of Nassau-Breda. Seventeen relatives are covered in the sanctuary. At the point when William of Orange passed on the arrangement was to cover him likewise in the church, yet Breda was around then possessed by the Spanish. William of Orange and the majority of his relatives were covered in the tomb in the New Church in Delft.

A unique piece of the house of prayer are the vault works of art from 1533. The frescos are made by the Italian painter Tommaso di Andrea Vincidor (an understudy of Raphael). The rebuilding of the church took five years. In 2003 the house of prayer was revived to the general population. The vault works of art were totally reestablished, all adjustments from later periods were evacuated and the first painting re-established.
