Huygens

Do you know more about this place?


Grave of Constantijn Huygens. He is buried underneath the choir, but in 1857 a memorial stone was placed underneath the so-called "Keizer Karel" window. His famous son, the physicist Christiaan Huygens, is also mentioned on this stone. The latter was also involved in music theory: he did research on alternative tone systems.
