If you've seen the Rijksmuseum and the Central Station in Amsterdam, then you might also recognise the genius of architect Pierre Cuypers when taking in the striking Sint-Catharinakerk in Eindhoven, complete with turrets and gargoyles. Of the roughly 70 churches that Cuypers designed, this is definitely one of his most renowned. In 1867 it replaced another church which in turn replaced the original structure from 1420 that was destroyed by a fire. Its two towers, named Maria and David, soar to a height of 73m each. In 1974 the city of Eindhoven claimed ownership of the church to ensure that this National Cultural Monument is preserved for future generations. A small exhibit of old bones, skeletons, jewellery and household items also details an archaeological dig that recently took place here.
