Saint Stephen's Church

Beautiful, memorable, historic, significant. Good local info. One addition: Prince Ludwig von Sachsen-Hildburghausen, Gov of N, is well memorialized by his tombstone. In 1826, his family exchanged their Duchy and name in favor of Sachsen-Altenburg, where his gr.father had reigned already. Thank you honoring Ludwig's accomplishments. His sister was mother to Queen Charlotte of GB; members of his pat. & mat. Family fought for independence of NL, were Counts of Cuylemburg. How about an entry in NL Wiki?

Large church. Pretty, but nothing particularly special on the scale of European churches. Free to enter, with small cafe in the corner.

Astonishing building in the heart of the city. Must see. The design and architecture inside is really beautiful. You can take the written guide and follow the main points to learn all about the history. There are also two rooms inside that hold paintings from local artists and surrounding the building is a beautiful quote from Victor Vroomkoning.

Thankfully they don’t charge admission. The history is interesting and the staff was especially generous and friendly but there’s really not a lot to see. They were preparing for a concert when we arrived so they had colored lights shining. Loved the town square leading to the church.

A beautiful church with a inclusive attitude. They had a wonderful free photo exhibition with transgender as the theme. I found it so moving and accepting that a church would have display these images. To normalise, love and accept transgender people into the church is such a step forward in the right direction. Well done to the organises. The church is also as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. A must see if your in the area.

Looking at the size of this church, one would imagine that it would be difficult to keep in good shape, but its imposing form looks so impressive from both the outside and inside. At the entrance, you can borrow a guide to the layout and features of the church, available in a wealth of different languages. There is also a booth with a presentation on the history of the church (commentary in Dutch, English, German) that was as impressive as much as it was informative. One volunteer was even so kind as to feed my curious nature by inviting me to see some of the rooms underneath the church (and observe the inside of the tomb of Catherine of Bourbon), whilst also answering questions relating to the history of the church during its religious changes. If you are visiting Nijmegen, it is worth taking a look inside to better understand the city’s history, as well as exploring a key part of the cityscape.

Magnificent tour guide from the church and he has vast knowledge about the church and also paintings. The church has some areas,where no photography is allowed, however some things are just not meant to be photographed but rather be cherished through memory. A definite must visit when in Nijmegen

Iconic symbolism of the Netherlands' oldest city. Accessible immediately within the city centre. You can't miss this.
