St.-Rombout's Cathedral

Impressive tower which was supposed to be a lot taller! But money was needed after a disasterous bolt of lighting set fire to a gunpowder storage and blasted away half the city. Another reason is that it would just not be safe to put up an even larger tower because it would be to heavy.


Now that I have my digital camera I can show you the beauty that surrounds me and inspires me on a daily basis.

I'll start with our churches and our main one: the St.-Rombouts Cathedral, highlight of Brabant gothic style, built between the 13th and the 16th century.
