Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Our Lady's Cathedral, Antwerp, as seen from KBC-tower.

The Cathedral of Our Lady (Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal ten Hemel Opgenomen) is a Roman Catholic parish church in Antwerp, Belgium. The today's see of the Diocese of Antwerp was started in 1352 and, although the first stage of construction was ended in 1521, has never been 'completed'. In Gothic style, its architects were Jan and Pieter Appelmans. It contains a number of significant works by the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, as well as paintings by artists such as Otto van Veen, Jacob de Backer and Marten de Vos.

The photograph was taken from the observation deck of the KBC tower (also known as Boerentoren). The KBC-tower was the first skyscraper in Europe and was built during the early thirties.
Nederlands: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal gezien vanop de observatieverdieping van de KBC-toren (Boerentoren).

De kathedraal is de hoofdkerk van het bisdom Antwerpen. Ze werd toegewijd aan Maria. De kerk was een kathedraal tussen 1559 en 1803 en vanaf 1961 tot heden. De toren van de Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal is als onderdeel van een groep van 56 belforten in België en Frankrijk opgenomen op de lijst van werelderfgoed ID 943-002 van UNESCO. De Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal is een gotische kruiskerk die gebouwd werd tussen 1352 en circa 1530. Bij de bouw was onder meer bouwmeester Rombout Keldermans II betrokken. De kerk wordt tot de hoogtepunten van de Brabantse gotiek gerekend, maar vertegenwoordigt een nieuw type binnen die stijl. De foto is genomen vanuit de KBC of Boerentoren.

De Boerentoren is met zijn 97 meter hoogte het op één na hoogste gebouw van Antwerpen. De toren is een ontwerp van Jan Van Hoenacker en de bouw begon 1929. Toen het revolutionaire project in 1931 werd voltooid was het een van de eerste wolkenkrabbers op het Europese vasteland. Het gebouw dat in art deco-stijl was opgericht mat toen nog 87,5 meter en bleef daarmee tot in de jaren '50 het hoogste torengebouw van Europa. Zijn uiteindelijke hoogte van 97 meter bereikte het gebouw na restauraties in 1976. In Antwerpen is alleen de Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal hoger.
