Cathedral of Our Lady

The Cathedral’s North Tower reaches a height of 123.9 metres. Following the demolition of St. Lambert’s Cathedral in Liège in 1794, it became the tallest structure in the Low Countries and retained this status in Belgium until the completion of the South Tower in Brussels in 1967.

Around 1430, the original design of the church was substantially modified to increase its width, resulting in the development of a seven-aisled configuration. This architectural arrangement is unique among churches worldwide. Consequently, Antwerp Cathedral is regarded as the church with the second-highest number of aisles, surpassed only by the Cathedral of Córdoba, which comprises nineteen aisles.
