    Marvellous. Thank you, Giselbertus, for the wonderful sculpture. You can see more of his work in the Musée Rolin.  more »

    Beautiful building. Lots to see. A lot of renovation and repair taking place. Impressed with the spiral staircase and organ. Couldn’t locate anything in English but it didn’t matter. Will go again  more »

  • By Jason Fisher
    Worthy trip to this town. The interior is undergoing major rennovations so only back portion open to public. continue behind and up street to right to a local pottery maker who is in her eighties and been crafting since the 50s.
  • By Erik Jan van den Heuvel
    The cathedral is being restored so 90% is closed. Tourist information failed to mention this so we walked up there basically for nothing. What is accessible is beautiful.
  • By Roland Wittwer

  • By Rich Aston
