Basilica in Brabant

Got to Oudenbosch in the province of North Brabant to make some pictures of its Basilica Saints Agatha and Barbara. What's a copy of the Saint Peter Basilica in the Vatican; realized here in 19th century. 
Wikipedia says: "The basilica was designed by architect Pierre Cuypers. Construction began in 1865 but was not fully completed until 1892. The basilica is unique in the region in that it is relatively large with a classical Italian appearance that is atypical for most of northern Europe, let alone a small town in North Brabant."


Thank you all Blippers for your visits of recent and your reactions! Much appreciated. Tomorrow I'll be off to my girl and her family again, as they are still in need of help.
