Amersfoort - Lange Jan
The Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren is a church tower in Amersfoort. The late-Gothic structure is 98.33 meters high (measured up to the rooster) and extends high above the city center. It is therefore one of the most eye-catching monuments in the city and is the third highest church tower in the Netherlands. The tower has the nickname "Lange Jan". The tower originally belonged to a church that disappeared in the 18th century.
The organisation "Stralend Middelpunt Nederland Foundation" launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2013 to raise money for new lighting for the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren. The lamps that lit the tower were no longer allowed and written off and had to be replaced. Light designer Jeroen Jans made a design for a light artwork. The project was realized in 2014 and consists of 132 LED luminaires that illuminate the tower from outside and inside. The new lighting was put into use on November 1, 2014
