Description

St. Bavo Cathedral in Ghent is an architectural gem with foundations dating back to 942. Originally a modest chapel, today it impresses with its 82-meter Gothic tower and priceless works of art.

Inside awaits a real treasure - the van Eyck brothers' famous 'Adoration of the Mystic Lamb,' considered a masterpiece of medieval painting. Also worth admiring is a painting by Rubens and a rococo pulpit by Laurent Delvaux from 1745.

The cathedral is a fascinating journey through architectural styles, from its Romanesque foundations to its Gothic vaults to its Baroque design elements.
