The largest church in Brussels, in the city center. There is not much decoration outside the church, retaining the simple lines of the Gothic architecture, looking slim and striking in style. Hugo once praised the church as “the purest flower in Gothic style.” The two tall square bell towers on the front are somewhat similar to Notre Dame, which is 64 meters tall and only 5 meters lower than Notre Dame. It was built in 1220 and is built in twin towers with majestic statues of the Three Witches and Apostles at the door. There are regular community events every week, ceremonies for ordinary people, and free for all visitors. The cathedral was quiet and solemn, and everyone slowed down and made their voices lighter, and occasionally a small tour group, and did not dare to make noise, so calm and tranquil that the Notre Dame cathedral was lost today. Bus: You can take the 25, 63, 65, 66 roads to the Parc station. The cathedral is open for free, and other exhibitions on the premises are charged separately. Roman ruins adults 2.5 euros, and the cathedral treasure room adults 1 euro.

    Also known as the Cathedral of Saint Michel and Saint-Gudulle, the church is located on the hill of Brussels, from 1017 to the first cornerstone completed in 1080, and lasted more than 60 spring and autumn. The church is 114 meters high and 57 meters wide. The whole building is Gothic, divided into three parts: the altar, the ear hall, and the main hall. The church's patrons are the archangel Michel and the martyr Saint-Gudule. It was a small church dedicated to Saint-Michel in the ninth century. The eleventh century was replaced by the present Roman church. In 1047, Rainbelle II founded the Council and organized the transfer of the relics of St. Coudreau, which was placed in the Church of St. Helena on the island of Helena, and since then he has been known as St. Michel and Hugo of St. Coudreau It is the purest flower in Gothic style. The two high square clock towers on the front are somewhat similar to Notre Dame. The clock tower is 64 meters tall, only five meters lower than Notre Dame. Because the uneven peaks cannot provide a wide and flat foundation, people have built several buildings along the hillside. Tickets for the church to be built on the same level: church free, exhibition fee opening hours 07:30-18:00 Monday-Friday; 07:30-15:30 Saturday; 14:00-18:00 Sunday address: Pl. Sainte-Gudule, 1000 Bruxelles Transportation: Bus: You can take the 25, 63, 65, 66 roads and wait until Parc station, get off the bus and you can arrive

    圣迈克尔和圣古杜拉大教堂是比利时中部布鲁塞尔的中世纪罗马天主教堂。 它被奉献给布鲁塞尔市的圣人圣迈克尔和圣古杜拉,被认为是布拉班廷哥特式建筑的最好典范之一。 教堂的建筑始于11世纪,到16世纪已基本完成,尽管其内部在接下来的几个世纪中经常被修改。 该教堂于1962年被授予大教堂地位。

    The Cathedral of Saint-Michel-Saint-Gudule is a Gothic church in the city of Brussels. The style of the church is modeled after Notre Dame Paris. There are no two large minarets on the front. It is still more magnificent from a distance. It is not far from the Grand Plaza de Brussels. If you walk to other nearby attractions, you can take a look by the way. If you come here deliberately, it is not necessary. Similar styles are still relatively common in major European cities.

    Worth a visit. See the picture. In the 13th century, the cathedral was renovated as Gothic. The choir was built between 1226 and 1276. The facade was completed in the mid-15th century.
