Architecturally, the building is a lesson in the various forms of Brabantine Gothic that evolved over the 300 years it took to complete the work. Inside the church, baroque style is lavishly celebrated by giant figures of the apostles, while Renaissance influence shines from the exceptional stained glass of the 16th-century west window. The Romanesque remains of an 11th-century church can be seen down in the crypt. Address: place Ste.-Gudule Phone: 02 217 8345 Open: Cathedral: Mon.-Fri. 8-6, Sat.-Sun. 8:30-6.
