Ghent's Historic Churches

Ghent’s skyline is defined by its diverse ecclesiastical architecture, from the 13th-century Scheldt Gothic style of Saint Nicholas' Church to the late Gothic design of Saint Michael's Church. The collection includes the neo-Gothic Oostakker Basilica, a significant pilgrimage site dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, and local parish churches like Heilig Kruiskerk. These landmarks preserve centuries of history, showcasing Romanesque foundations, Baroque elements, and the city's evolution as a major religious center in Flanders.
