The church was destroyed in 1787 when stored gunpowder exploded. Fortunately, the 322 foot Gothic spire survived. Adventurous tourists enjoy a panoramic view after climbing the 346 steps during a one hour tour. Interestingly, Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren was originally coordinate zero for the Dutch grid system.
