Not for the first time I passed by this lovely edifice and found it closed. The last time I even encountered the Bishop and exchanged a good morning -- but not being exactly one of the most presumptious types did not take the occassion to mention that some venues in Brussels 'deeply red' are open longer hours; and such an...

I have to say though that there are many others in Europe that are more impressive. It is still the best in the area and is worth a visit.

Compared to these I don't understand...

This cathedral has the most amazing stained glass windows! The carvings are also wonderful. We don't usually take photos in churches we visit, but just had to snap the main window, it was so lovely.

This is very near the comics museum and where royal weddings are held. When we were there there was a Choir performing which was worthwhile.
