The impressive Church of Our lady in Bruges dates back to the second half of the 13th century. Reaching a height of 122 m, the church is the second highest in Belgium and has the second highest brick tower in the world.
The Church of Our Lady contains a rich collection of art works, of which the most important is Michelangelo’s “Madonna and Child”. This statue was made in 1504 in Carrara marble.
Other important art work include the painting "Crucifixion of Christ" by Anthony van Dyck and a rococo pulpit designed by Jan Antoon Garemijn.
