St. Lawrence Church
#europetrip
The most important church in Rotterdam. It survived the fire of the 2nd world war in some parts, the others underwent restoration. It's interesting that you can see that few walls are pending visibly. We visited it during an organ concert, that made the visit delightful. At the beginning of the visit we were given a brochure with the information. We did not go on the church tower.
