Dom tower temporarily not the highest in the Netherlands | Inland

The honor of the highest therefore now goes to the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft. This 108 meter high structure towers just one meter above the clipped cathedral.

This 650-year-old monument has been in scaffolding for many months for a large-scale restoration. “The wind vane is relatively only a small part of the work, but it is a very important aspect,” alderman Eelco Eerenberg said on Friday. He was allowed to lift Sint Maarten off the striker.

The patron saint must be regilded before he can take his original place again. The image of Saint Martin, his horse, cloak and the beggar is also warped. In 1995 the windvane had the same problems.
