Cathedral of St Michael and GudulaYou cannot imagine how many Churches there seem to be all over Europe but I will show you the main one here in Brussels. Some Churches are old, some are new but built over old, it is just amazing how beautiful they all are. Take for instance St.Michael's Cathedral in Brussels. It is an imposing place that when you look up, to the top, it feels like you are going to fall backwards. Our friends, Jamie and Denine were here last year around the end of May to celebrate their 25th anniversary, every time we wanted to take a walk inside the Cathedral, we found it closed but still were able to enjoy it from outside.
St Michael's is built on top of where the original Chrch stood and you can still see some of the ruins underneath. The whole place is beautiful and you wonder about how many people have gone through it throughout the centuries. Below is another detail from the outside of the Cathedral. Can you imagine all the work that went into each detail?
Today, the Cathedral of St. Michael and Gudula is the episcopal see of the Archbishop of Mechlin-Brussels and therefore the leading Catholic church in Belgium. All royal weddings and christenings take place here.

I love the top picture of the cathedral, but I can't see the other two.
It's a beautiful church, I would love to see the inside.
I can see them all now - LOVE that last picture - how beautiful!
