About 24 kilometers southwest of Rotterdam in the town of Dordrecht, the Church of Our Lady (Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk) has one of the most picturesque settings of any Dutch church. Built on the site of an earlier 15th-century church, it overlooks a quaint canal that dissects the old town center. As a result of a fault in construction, the tower began to sink, resulting in its present half-finished appearance (it was later topped by four Baroque clock faces and a carillon of 49 bells). Interior highlights include its magnificent oak choir-stalls, carved in Renaissance style in 1541 and the finest of their kind in the Netherlands, along with stained glass windows depicting important events in the town's history. Also of note is the large organ, built in 1671 and decorated with the coats of arms of Dordrecht. Afterwards, be sure to explore Dordrecht itself, famous for its many surviving historic buildings such as the Old Town Hall (Stadhuis) from 1544. Address: Groenmarkt, Dordrecht
