Historisch centrum/Torens-site

[Sint-Niklaaskerk ]

This church in Tournai bluestone is one of the most beautiful examples of the Scheldt Gothic style. One of its unique elements is that the tower is not above the entrance, but above the crossing of the nave and transepts. It functions as a sort of natural lantern as the light shines into the transept from the tower.

The current restoration began in 1960 and is still in progress.
