The Basics

Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk or Church of Our Lady boasts the second tallest brick tower in the world (the tallest is in Germany). Climb to the top to enjoy sweeping views over Belgium, and even all the way to the Netherlands border on clear days. Whether you're visiting Bruges on a day trip or for a longer stay, a visit to see the church is on most tourist itineraries.

Inside, the colorful stained glass and wall paintings are typical of a gothic church of the 14th and 15th centuries. The main attraction is, of course, Michelangelo’s sculpture, which is believed to have been created for Siena Cathedral before being purchased by a wealthy local merchant family and shipped to Belgium. The altar triptych by Bernard van Orley is also worthy of note. The church is connected to the adjacent Gruuthusemuseum (the former palace of the lords of Gruuthuse) via an oratory in the chancel.
