Haarlem Picture: St. Bavo, measure of the tallest and shortest men in Haarlem

James Martin
Here the church of St. Bavo celebrates Haarlem's tallest giant (Daniel Cajavos at 2.64 meters) and the shortest man (Simon Paap at 0.84 meters).

The marks are right in front of the church's cafe, or "Coffee Corner." Hot and cold drinks are available.

For more on St. Bavo, see the St. Bavo web site: Bavo of Grote Kerk te Haarlem
