Lonely Planet review for St Pieterskerk

One of the main edifices is St Pieterskerk, a late-Gothic structure. Construction started in 1425, the same year that the university was founded, but the church never reached full throttle as unstable subsoil forced the builders to abandon a 170m-high tower. Inside, highlights include an elaborately carved stone rood screen and an equally impressive wooden baroque pulpit. However, it's the church's treasury that most people come to see.
