Oudekerk/Pilgrimvaders Kerk
This church was built in 1417 as the Chapel of Sint Anthonius, but has undergone several changes since then. In the late Gothic period it was enlarged and renovated in an updated style, and in 1761 it was further changed by raising the ceilings. There is an ornate clock tower, added at the end of the 18th century, and the church as it appears today is much the same as in that period. The church was important historically, as it was a place many pilgrims gathered before embarking on their journey to the New World.

Sint Laurenskerk
This beautiful church was built between 1449 - 1525, and is known for its three historic organs. The main organ is one of the largest in all of Europe. The church stands out from its modern surroundings, and miraculously survived the bombings during World War II. It was damaged during the war, but rebuilt in 1940, and retains much of its original grandeur. Visitors can climb the church tower for a lovely view of the city, and many come here for the frequent classical music concerts held throughout the year.
