People from Zwolle say they know they're home when they see the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren (also known as the Peperbus , or Peppermill), the huge former church that dominates the skyline. From atop the tower (234 steps!) you can appreciate the Museum De Fundatie's strange new appendage.
Within the church look for a painted case containing the relics of Thomae à Kempis, a German theologian who migrated to Zwolle to become a devotee of the Brethren of the Common Life.
