Onze Lieve Vrouwekathedraal

Described as 'lacework in stone', the largest gothic cathedral in the Low Countries (and still Europe's tallest gothic church) was completed in 1521 and is adorned by Rubens masterpieces of which the Raising of the Cross and the Descent from the Cross are the best known. It has become the symbol of Antwerp and is a stunning sight by night when floodlit.
