The tower of Ransdorp is a monumental tower at the Church of Ransdorp. The tower was built between 1502 and 1542 in Gothic style.

A remarkable feature of this tower is its flat roof. Presumably, the tower was never completed due to lack of money. One advantage of this is that the tower is a perfect location to look out over the vast Rural North. This was also experienced by the Germans, who used the tower as a vantage point during World War II. Also special is the enormous size of the tower, compared to the relatively small village of Ransdorp. To understand this better, we need to go back in time.
