The Roman Catholic Cathedral Church of St. John (Sint-Janskathedraal) of 's-Hertogenbosch, North Brabant, is the height of gothic architecture in the Netherlands. It has an extensive and richly decorated interior, and serves as the cathedral for the bishopric of 's-Hertogenbosch.
The cathedral has a total length of 115 metres (377 ft) and a width of 62 metres (203 ft). Its tower reaches 73 metres (240 ft) high; the largest for Catholic churches in the Netherlands.
St. John's Cathedral is a so-called ‘Kanjermonument’ (whopper-monument, loosely translated) and, being such, it receives financial support from the Dutch government.
In 1985, it received the honorary title of Basilica Minor from Pope John Paul II.wiki
