Summary[edit]

Description
English: Our Lady's Cathedral, Antwerp.

The Cathedral of Our Lady (Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal ten Hemel Opgenomen) is a Roman Catholic parish church in Antwerp, Belgium. The today's see of the Diocese of Antwerp was started in 1352 and, although the first stage of construction was ended in 1521, has never been 'completed'. In Gothic style, its architects were Jan and Pieter Appelmans. It contains a number of significant works by the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, as well as paintings by artists such as Otto van Veen, Jacob de Backer and Marten de Vos.

The flag waiving atop is the Flemish Lion, official flag of the Flemish community of Belgium.
Nederlands: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal.

De kathedraal is de hoofdkerk van het bisdom Antwerpen. Ze werd toegewijd aan Maria. De kerk was een kathedraal tussen 1559 en 1803 en vanaf 1961 tot heden. De toren van de Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal is als onderdeel van een groep van 56 belforten in België en Frankrijk opgenomen op de lijst van werelderfgoed van UNESCO. De Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal is een gotische kruiskerk die gebouwd werd tussen 1352 en circa 1530. Bij de bouw was onder meer bouwmeester Rombout Keldermans II betrokken. De kerk wordt tot de hoogtepunten van de Brabantse gotiek gerekend, maar vertegenwoordigt een nieuw type binnen die stijl.

Op de toren wappert de Vlaamse Leeuw. De vlag van Vlaanderen, meestal de Vlaamse Leeuw of de leeuwenvlag genoemd, is de vlag van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap en het Vlaams Gewest. Deze vlag werd in 1985 officieel aangenomen als vlag van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap.
