It is a truly beautiful church with beautifully restored ceiling paintings, and there are two special organs. Guides in church during the summer months can tell you much more about this. The church is free to enter, Tues-Fri 2 to 5 and Sat 1 to 4.

Why are those churches in the Netherlands always closed during the week? Take an example from Germany or Belgium.

Beautiful church. What is told on Sunday is also worth it. So not just for tourism ?

Church and main square of the beautiful town of Hattem.

Beautiful church with a true testimony through the life of Pastor Bernardus Hazen. Who took office in 1533 and despite all rejections continued to obey The Path of The Lord Jesus The Messiah and continued to follow His Will in spite of everything. An example for us all

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
