Our Lady's Cathedral, Antwerp, Belgium


Where the cathedral now stands, there was a small chapel of Our Lady from the 9th to the 12th century. During the course of the 12th century it was replaced by a larger church and in 1352 construction was began on a new Our Lady.  170 years later it became the largest gothic church in the Netherlands.
