Sint-Walburgisbasiliek

The Sint-Walburgisbasiliek is a 14th-century Gothic church and the oldest religious building in Arnhem. Visitors go here to see its distinctive architectural feature of two side-by-side spires and to visit the treasury, which houses a collection of historic religious artifacts. The building has been repurposed to include a hotel and exhibition spaces alongside its religious functions.

Getting There

The basilica is located within the central area of Arnhem. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk of approximately 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your starting point.

Visit Duration

Allow roughly 1 to 2 hours to explore the interior, view the treasury, and observe the Gothic architecture.

When to Visit

The site is generally quiet, though it may be busier during religious services or local events. Visiting during daylight hours is recommended to see the architectural details of the exterior and the interior lighting.
