Attended concert of remembrance of the bombing of Nijmegen, Emmerich anf Kleve in 1944. Choirs from each of these cities came together to sing the Stabat Mater of Dvorak. Huge choir with excellent soloists and orchestra. A memorable evening. The mayor of Nijmegen spoke for few minutes before the concert, then left the church. Seemed a bit strange. Otherwise an excellent evening in a beautiful church.

When I was here there was many paintings and photos on display. Very nice :) It's got a great historic feel to it

On the Saturday morning of my visit there were all sorts of activities going on in the church - markets - coffee-mornings - craft exhibitions - organ recitals and a local band playing (all in the same space!). I have to say that any semblance of history and religious heritage was over-dominated by present-day themes. Externally it symbolised ancient history but internally it seems to have undergone significant change (not a bad thing but not what I had expected).

It is a beautiful church. It was partial destroyed during World War II. Nice view from tower over the region. The surrounding of the church is beautiful. If you want have a drink of lunch/dinner there are a lot of bars/restaurants in the area.

stevenskerk gothic church is situated in the center of nijmegen just off grote square,it truly is a spectacular building surrounded by an excellent court yard ,...with an immaculate array of gothic artifacts adorning its inside walls,the centre piece of which is a 15th/16th century organ of stunning size, craftmanship and quality.To say the building was badly damaged by world war 2 is an understatement as the rebuilding process took around 25yrs to restore its original beauty,a feat second to none when you realise the quality of the finished article.".a place of peace,tranquility and solidarity with air of distinction,"... and a must to visit .

This church with its highrising clocktower is in the central area of the town and is also most majestic internally. The building commenced circa 1254. A gentleman on duty in the church explained that it was originally Roman Catholic but now is used by both Protestants and Catholics who even take communion together. There are apparently four organs, the largest being the 1776 Konig instrument. The church is also greatly used for concerts.

From the city centger we walked to this interesting chruch, climbed a few stair and then enjoyed walking around the church, unfortunately it was closed in the late morning.

The tower of the St Steven’s Church rises high over Nijmegen and as the church is built on a hill it can be seen from afar. You can climb the tower and have good views over the surrounding area, weather permitting. The church itself is nice but with sober decorations and not as brilliant as the St John’s Cathedral in nearby Den Bosch. The building was started in Romanesque style but was completed in Gothic style. The area around the church is nice with small streets and lots of good pubs and restaurants.

An elegant medieval gothic church with a very high clock tower,topped golden statutes. It is said that the devil took a young woman, Marijke of Nijmegen up into the sky's to make her his wife, but she protested so much that he dropped her from the top of the tower onto the market below. Still seeking to know if she became a saint or not. The interior has been stripped of all its earlier Roman Catholic overindulgence when it was given to the local small community of protestant believers some time in the 16th century. The catholics bitterly complained and the Staatsholder (Chief man before the Dutch had a King) was asked to adjuicate. He agreed with the decision and said that the catholics could have the high tower. "Why the Tower!" they asked. The reply was that it was high enough to see if they could be invaded from the Lutheren north across the river. Today this wonderful open space is home to concerts, poetry readings, choirs and art exhibitions. The church stands high on an escarpment above the great commercial river. It is enclosed by narrow cobbled streets with old house's now used as small art and craft shops. Always cold and windy, no matter the time of year. Every Monday morning a flea market. Walk through the old gateway into the main market and you will find a statue of Marijke still challenging the devil.
