The building from outside looks really great!Tall, massive, interesting.Not so from inside... Nothing to write home about... Stone walls and not too many impressing sculptures. Some nice windows... but this is it...
Was able to not only visit this Cathedral but also attend mass during Lent on a Saturday evening. Huge statues, incredibly beautiful ceilings, pillars, and stained-glass. My favorite building in Brussels and that is certainly saying something.
A very peaceful and very beautiful place to have a quick look around while in the centre of Brussels. I wanted to see where members of the Belgian royal family wed and have their funerals and enjoyed my visit lots. The cathedral is huge and has stunning stained glass windows and side chapels to explore. The pulpit half-way down the nave is one of the most beautiful things you will ever see. Entry is free, but for one or two euros (I can't remember which) you can see the well-preserved remains of the original towers of the cathedral from the Middle Ages in the basement! This was quite exciting for a history buff like me!
We dropped by on a Sunday and we're supposed by the scale of the Cathedral. With its twin towers and size it reminded us of the Notre Dame, though the location is less nice. Inside the stained glass windows steel the show with their very detailed depiction of famous scenes. The rest of the interior has that slightly more sobre flavour.
Go see it! This is absolutely beautiful. We walked around and took pictures of the place (though we didn't go inside!)
We did not realise how close the Cathedral was to our hotel. Lovely cathedral but there were too many "modern" buildings in the surrounding area. Cathedral itself is very typical of a European cathedral. You can pay a Euro to go underneath to look at the foundations of the original building. Well worth the money with lots of detail.
you will never stop visiting cathedrales in Brussels!you have to visit all of those georgous buikding!where i discoverd how they buikd it with art, determination!many statues!many decoration!just go there and enjoy it!
Definitely a POI (place of interest) that visitors to Brussels need to see. The building was very impressive!
I am not a cathedral fan - usually too cold and uninviting but this one is breathtaking and had a sense of calm about it. Worth a visit.
教堂真的很美,很可惜我去的时候天气不好拍照都不是很好看,而且内部也很漂亮,虽然布鲁塞尔有很多教堂,这绝对是我在这边最喜欢的教堂之一
