TOURIST ATTRACTIONS & SIGHTSEEING, PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The massive Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Kerk is regarded as one of the largest religious structures in Bruges, and its steeple is the second largest brick spires in the world. It was first constructed in 1225 and subsequently modified throughout the 13th, 14th and 15th Centuries. It is primarily known for holding a work from the famed Michelangelo, the Madonna met Kind or 'Madonna with Child', given to the cathedral by the native Bruges businessman Jan Van Moeskroen who had procured the statue on a trip to Italy (Siena) sometime in the late 1400s.
