Sightseeing
It is de Grand or Lebuïnus church, one of the two main churches. The tower is the dominant feature of the Deventer skyline when arriving from across the IJssel river.
Often it is possible to climb the tower to enjoy the view over the town and her surroundings. On clear days one can see the towers of Zwolle, 35 kilometers away.
Apparently it is even possible to book a special diner at the top of tower, specially for you and your company. The diner is prepared right at the spot. € 150,- a person ...
