“Every time, residents of IJsselstein asked: when will the clock come back?” says Gerard van den Bie, maintenance man at the church. He calls the lack of the familiar clock a disaster for the IJsselstein population. When he cycles past, he always looks at the enormous dial with 23-carat gold letters to see what time it is. “Even though you know it.”
IJsselsteiners can again see what time it is on the clock of the St. Nicholas Basilica
