The highest tower in Brugge is the tower of Our Lady's Church. At 122 meters it is visible from most parts of the city. This may not be the most important church it does however attract the most visitors because of its medieval character and the important works of art that can be admired here. The most famous of which is Michelangelo's wonderful sculpture, Madonna and Child (see below) the only sculpture by the great Italian artist that can be seen in Belgium.

The church of our Lady was built in the 13th century with the tower built and re-built over 300 yeasr in various styles. In the last 100 years all renovations have tried to re-create the medieval style to be more inkeeping with the rest of Brugge and truer to the original. The church now houses an impressive array of art treasures and is well worth a visit.
