This is where the Kings and Queens of The Netherlands are crowned, and where numerous famous Dutchmen are buried.
The basilica was built in the 15th century, and has been badly damaged in several fires since then.
The real jewel of the church is the pulpit that took its creator 13 years to complete. It shows the four evangelists surrounded by the images of Hope, Charity, Faith, Justice, Prudence and Strength.
Conferences, exhibitions and debates are held here.
