The Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe-Kerk 'Our Dear Lady Church' or simply the Grote Kerk 'Great Church' was built between 1285 and 1470. The 65-meter tower contains a carillon with 67 bells including one weighing 9830 kilos, making it the heaviest bell in the Netherlands. Entry to the church is free. Climbing the tower costs one Euro. Be sure you're in shape and not afraid of close spaces. The steps are steep and there is only one way up...or down. See the medieval clock works as well.In the church see the brilliant stained glass windows and especially the modern window dedicated to the guilds of Dordrecht.
