Onze Lieve Vrouwekathedraal
The Cathedral of Our Lady is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Antwerp.
The construction was started in 1352 and was ended in 1521, although it was never finished.
The cathedral was built in gothic style and was designed by the brothers Jan and Pieter Appelmans.
Becoming more popular, the chapel is demolished and replaced by a much bigger romanesque church. The three-aisled nave corresponded in width to the cathedral's current central aisle, the inner and partly the middle aisles. The cloverleaf-shaped eastern section with a full aisle had a width of no less than 42 m. In 1294, the church gets a novum opus extension, indicating the first signs of gothic architecture.
