S-Hertogenbosch

A Wondrous Climb

  Parade, 's-Hertogenbosch      (+31) 736 13 50 98     more than a year ago
Illustrious painter Jeroen Bosch was still alive and kicking five centuries ago when the 96 sculptures seen today were placed atop this Gothic church. The grandeur of the city's most attractive structure can now be experienced with this guided tour entitled ‘A Wondrous Climb’. Usually, the roof of the Catholic church is off-limits to visitors, so make sure you reserve a ticket for this once-in-a-lifetime-experience. At a height of 25m you'll be amazed by the sight of huge dragons, musicians, gargoyles and mythical creatures that only exist in our imagination. Once on top, the total walk is only 50m. To cover the stairs that have been added to the outside of the building, the facade of the church has been covered by two giant banners decorated with enormous images of the devil with a trident and the more dignified image of King Melchior. The history of the sculptures, their origin and other historical information is available at the beginning of the tour.
