based on 2498 reviewsThe Church of Our Lady in Bruges combines Gothic and early Romanesque styles. It is one of the few places outside of Italy to boast Michelangelo's sculpture of the Madonna and Child. Its second name is "Our Lady of Bruges." Originally created for Siena Cathedral, the sculpture was later purchased by a local merchant and donated to the church. The "Our Lady of Bruges" was stolen twice—once by the French in the 18th century and again by the German occupiers in the 20th century—and both times the sculpture was returned. The Church of Our Lady is the tallest church in Bruges. Its 122-meter tower stands out against the cityscape dominated by rather modest houses. Admission to the church is free, but a 4-€ ticket is required to access the altar and admire the fascinating interior.
