A visit to Dordrecht, oldest town in Holland

Dordrecht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. This gallery gives a view of (only some of) the sites to see. Major part is the visit of the Grote or Onze Lieve Vrouwenkerk, of which building started already in 1285. There is another site with photos taken by Sander Mijnster, who lives in Dordrecht and went with me yesterday. He did make some nice(?) pics of me also -------- https://pbase.com/snader/dordrecht
