This church is very much and beautifully decorated. Go and take the elevator. You will not only enjoy the statues, but also the view. You can see Arnhem and its surroundings, where the Operation Market Garden was fought in World War II. Inside the tower of the church there is also a temporary but still very exposition about the evacuation of Arnhem by the Germans. The church itself is very light inside.
This restored church is definitely worth a visit. Look out for the fresco/mural from the 16th century inside the church and make sure to take the elevator to the top for a fantastic view of the city. At present, there is a very interesting exhibition on the battle of Arnhem on the 1st and 2nd floors, very worthwhile, especially if you don't have time to visit the site.
Во множестве протестантских церквей во всем мире платить не нужно. Но не в Голландии. Что в Амстердаме , что в других городах. Можно даже не проверять -какая перед тобой церковь- если бесплатно- значит католическая, если от 5 евро за вход- протестантская. Конкретно эта церковь - в лесах строительных. Толком и архитектуру не рассмотришь.
Церковь хронически на реставрации, отчего на нее нельзя толком полюбоваться снаружи, а внутри еще веселее: ладно еще что платить надо за подъем на лифте на смотровую площадку, так еще и за вход в саму церковь требуют денег, даром что никаких архитектурных чудес там внутри нет, обычнейшая протестантская церковь, просто большая очень. Сам лифт, к слову, объявлен единственным стеклянным лифтом в голландских церквях - не добавлено только, что ствол лифта целиком помещается в скучном побеленном помещении, и ничего из этого лифта, кроме стен, поднимающиеся не увидят. Еще не хватало, пожалуй, налепить ценники на каждую стену и домогаться золота за право на нее опереться.
helaas konden we de kerk niet bezichtigen ivm een beurs, maar het uitzicht boven over Arnhem was de moeite waard. (Eu4,=pp). Ga ook zeker met de stenen trap (achter de houten deur) nog een tiental meter hoger, want dan is het uitzicht nog mooier, door door de brede ramen (ongehinderd door de vertikale pijlers beneden).
The Eusebius Church was destroyed during the Second World War, and its replacement remains the object of restoration. The main body of the church is very empty, with only a handful of pre-war artifacts remaining. The big bell is the most touching, as it fell from the tower as it collapsed during the Battle of Arnhem in 1944. For those with a head for heights, the lift up the spire is an exhilirating experience - that is the only part of the building for which an entrance fee is charged. During days with clear visibility (and my visit was not during such a day), the views must be stunning.
The Eusebius Church dates back to the 9th Century. It was destroyed in WWII and is currently being restored. At 93 meters tall, the tower offers a grand view of the Arnhem area and its surrounds, if the weather is clear (and it was on our visit). If you studied Operation Market Garden, you can see certain landmarks from the tower and can gain a greater appreciation for the battle here. There's a fee (I think it was 7 euro) to ride the elevator up to the top. Along the way, you'll pass the huge bells, the largest of which is emblazoned with the words, A Bridge Too Far. Also, there's a nice shot of the John Frost Bridge from the tower. The sanctuary is currently undergoing renovation, so it was not available for viewing during our visit.
The church was badly damaged during the battle for Arnhem and repair work carried out subsequently used poor quality materials. Now in the middle of major works to restore it properly. The vaulted ceiling with descending paratroopers was fabulous.
Ik ben deze zomer voor het eerst in deze kerk geweest voor de Bridge to Bridge race maar wat een waanzinnig mooie kerk! De graftombes waar je gewoon bij mag staan en aan kan zitten, indrukwekkend. Als je de kerk uitloopt...waanzinnig hoe binnen de ornamenten en alle versieringen zijn bij de uitgang. Jammer dat de kerk al zo lang in de stijgers staat zodat er weinig van de buitenkant te zien is.
A testament to rebuilding skills and spectacular views from the tower but wil be even better when there us no scaffolding but eorth a visit and easy to get to in the town
