The church became the Cathedral in 1559. Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor was baptised here.


The Church of Our Lady in Bruges was originally built in the 13th century. Its 122 metres tall tower is the tallest structure in the city and the second tallest brickwork tower in the world. In the choir space behind the altar is the tomb of Charles the Bold, last Valois Duke of Burgundy built in bronze over black stone.
