The story

You're standing on the Vrouwenkerkhof square in Leiden, by the remains of the Vrouwekerk, the Church of Our Lady. There's not much left, just a few walls. But take a look at the paving. Natural stone marks out the shape of the church, and even where the graves were. It shows you how big this building once was.
