Forming a focus of the northbound N14 Malle–Breda road, Hoogstraten's fabulous belfry is an enormous 105m-tall red-brick edifice picked out with dots of white-stone detail. Originally dated 1556, it was dynamited by retreating WWII German troops in 1944. Photos in the attached St-Katherinakerk document its meticulous reconstruction between 1950 and 1958.
