Lonely Planet review for Cathédrale des Sts Michel & Gudule

Rising out of a sea of 20th-century buildings, Brussels’ twin-towered cathedral is named after Brussels’ male and female patron saints. Construction began in 1226 but it would be another 300 years before it was completed, accounting for the hybrid of styles used – from Romanesque through to Renaissance. Take the stairs down to the crypt to see archaeological remains of an 11th-century Romanesque chapel.
