Martini-church (Doesburg)

Netherlands / Gelderland / Doesburg / Kerkstraat
 church, monument, place with historical importance

High above the houses and monuments of Doesburg a tower is rising to the sky. This tower can be seen from large distances in all directions, but especially along the river "IJssel", it's silhouet is a very recognisable item in the Gelderland-landscape. Without it's graceful shape, Doesburg just wouldn't be Doesburg. The Martinitower has had some sad history of destruction. Cityfires and the second worldwar have taken it's tols, but rebuilt every time, it gave the town it always it's skyline back.
