The Cunerakerk is the main church of Rhenen. It is a relatively large church, created thanks to the fact that Rhenen was an important place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. Pilgrims came to see the relics of Saint Cunera, which were venerated here from the eighth century. The pride of the church is the 81.8 meter high tower.
