The Sint-Michaëlskerk

The Sint-Micha��lskerk, located at Kerkberg 2, 6017 HA Thorn, Netherlands, is a beautiful Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Michael.

Situated in the heart of Thorn, a charming town in the province of Limburg, it features a mix of Gothic and Baroque architectural styles with a striking tower that dominates the surrounding landscape.
