LA CATEDRAL DE ROTTERDAM - note the spelling of the name on the bottle
- no "H" in Catedral. This is a Spanish translation.
This
very desirable gin bottle depicts St Laurens Church in Rotterdam embossed
on the side panel.
St
Laurens Church has a history dating back to 1409, with various stages of
construction through to 1655.
The
church survived the aerial bombing of Rotterdam by the Germans in 1940, remaining
as a shell amongst the complete destruction of the surrounding buildings
in the inner city. The
church was restored after the war.
