Grote Kerk
The medieval tower of this church is the oldest remaining structure in Hilversum, as it originates from 1481. The base of the church was built in 1891 in neo-renaissance style. It has been a victim of fires a number of times. The last fire was in 1971, after which the church was completely restored. It can only be entered during religious ceremonies.

Heren Spyker
These houses are known as the Spijkerpandjes and these used to be the oldest remaining buildings in Hilversum. Unfortunately, the original buildings were torn down in the 1990s, so these are reconstructed. The one on the right was a residential house built in 1770, while the one on the left was a smithy built around 1880. Jacobus Spyker lived in these buildings, whose sons later founded the 'Spyker' car brand. Now a restaurant, the focus is on contemporary French and Mediterranean dishes, very well presented on a wide array of china. Very original dishes, prepared with love by a very enthusiastic chef. Lots of wines served by the glass. Excellent value.
