Antwerpen Kathedraal

Antwerp Cathedral

Antwerp Cathedral in Belgium is the largest Gothic church in the Netherlands. It also has the tallest church spire in Belgium – this belfry is on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list with more than 50 other similar belfries in Belgium and France. The church here is seen from Groenplein with a statue of local artist Peter Paul Rubens. The cathedral has four of his masterpieces. Also note the curious onion-shaped topping to the crossing and the south tower that was never completed.
