St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral (Cathedrale St-Michel et Ste-Gudule)
Dedicated to the patron saints of Brussels, St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral (Cathedrale St-Michel et Ste-Gudule) cuts an imposing figure in the historic city center. It is co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels, along with St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen. The cathedral's two terraced spires reach 64 m (210 ft) tall and were designed by Jan van Ruysbroeck, the same architect responsible for the tower of the city's town hall. Inside, visit the mausoleums of the dukes of Brabant and Archduke Ernest of Austria. Admire the way the sunlight hits the cathedral's stained-glass windows. The cathedral contains a massive organ with 4,300 pipes.

Very beautiful cathedral, a must do in Brussels. Sometimes the cathedral organizes free tours around it. I recommend to take this tour, because in this case you can understand the meaning behind paintings and statutes. Indeed, the history of Brussels is written in them.

Loved the bright color of the walls! It’s so big! There was a very nice crib exhibition made by the communities from all over the world.
-
Well preserved Gothic church with lots of artifacts. For 2€ you get to see rare and ancient artifacts. When I visited, a choir was practicing and the chorus and the organ playing made the experience very surreal. There is free entry into the church but there are numerous slots for small donations. Make sure it is in your itinerary for Brussels, even if you only have one day to tour Brussels. You will not be disappointed.

This Cathedral was built between the XI century and the facade was commissioned late in the XV century. Excellent to get a chance to visit when in Belgium and nearby hotspots. It is an example of the Gothic-Barbantine architecture. Also easy access by the Belgian public transportation. Highly recommend.
