You're standing at the Bakenesserkerk, in the Bakenes neighbourhood in the centre of Haarlem. First, look up at that white tower. Does it look familiar? It's almost identical to the tower of the Grote Kerk, the big church of St Bavo, except that one is grey. Locals call them the twin towers. Coming in from the direction of Amsterdam, they seem to stand side by side.
