Kathedrale Basiliek Sint Jan
The current St. John's Cathedral was built in the period 1280-1550 and initially served as a parish church. When the Diocese of 's-Hertogenbosch was founded in 1559, the church became a cathedral. Incidentally, the cathedral does not belong to the oldest parish on the current territory of 's-Hertogenbosch. That is the parish of St. Salvator in Orthen, which was founded before 1280. In the thirteenth century, the people of 's-Hertogenbosch were still dependent on the parish of Orthen. Around 1280, construction began on a separate parish church, which would later develop into the current cathedral.
