The Great or St. Bavo's Church is a three-nave cruciform church built between 1370 and 1520. It is the largest church in the Dutch city of Haarlem. It was originally built in the 15th century as a Gothic-style Catholic cathedral. Saint Bavo is the patron saint of the church. In 1578 the Reformation was introduced at the church. The nave is 108 m long and the tower is 76 m high. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St.-Bavo-Kirche_(Haarlem)
