The church tower of the St. Martin's Church in Woudrichem can be seen from afar. For those who want to visit Woudrichem, it is a landmark where the fortified town can be found.
The history of this church is a piece of the history of this old town. At the end of the 7th century, a chapel is said to have been founded on the site where the choir of the church now stands, by an employee and traveling companion of Bishop Willibrord. Later, in the 15th century, the church space was only built onto this chapel.

The 34-metre-high Martinustoren was built in the first half of the 15th century. The top two sections date from 1530. The tower is nicknamed 'De Mosterdpot' (The Mostard Pot). There used to be a small mustard factory in the fortress. Seeds that had blown up took root on top of the tower, giving it its name.
