The current church is a cross between a hall church and a cross basilica.

If you're looking for a personalised and sporty, but most of all fun way to discover Rotterdam, this is the tour to book! I had a great morning run with Anne along the city's finest novel and old landmarks. After being introduced to the city and it's monumental Erasmus bridge we headed to Rotterdam south where Anne gradually started to reveal the city's history, significant places and surprising stories. Between our stops we run a steady, but very comfortable pace and further conversed about the city. After about 1h20 we finished and I was ready to continue the discovery of the city on my own! It was an amazing experience to be introduced to the city in this way, while learning about the old and new Rotterdam. Thanks Anne!!
