Gothic Antwerp, 21.23 pm
Made by e³°°°
The Antwerp Cathedral of our Lady, built between 1352 and 1521, is one of the finest gothic buildings in Europe & and a masterpiece of lace work in stone. Of the two planned towers, only the northern was finished. The octagonal portion of the tower, constructed between 1501 and 1507 was designed by Herman de Waghemakere. Inside the tower is a carillon with 47 bells. The actual spire was built by Domien de Waghemakere, Antoon Keldermans II, and Rombout Keldermans between 1508 and 1518. The cathedral was the tallest structure in the Low Countries for several centuries. The 123 meter (405ft) tall spire still reigns over the city.

8 June 2007 This is the most life-like of all the Mary statues in the cathedral in Antwerp. Nobody in silly clothes or with royal symbols, just an infant reaching for his young mother.
