Impressively reconstructed after almost total destruction during WW1.
A stunning cathedral with some wonderful treasures inside. It had some interesting statues by the entrance and I loved the circular stained glass windows. Their was some huge paintings some of which were quite dark with age. The cathedrals treasure were secure behind glass and it was nice to see the old robes and artefacts. The ceilings were amazing. The modern war memorial was a nice touch. Well worth visiting and free entrance too
Finding a few minutes to myself in the middle of a school trip, I hesitantly walked through the door of this wonderful cathedral not know what to expect. The sight was inspiring. I loved the solemn atmosphere and was thrilled to have the whole building to myself on a pleasant Friday morning. The artwork that adorned the walls was beautiful and the sculptures had a great variety. I particularly liked looking at the history of the building and reconciling the ruins to the restoration and how tastefully it has been done. The carvings salvaged from the ruins are a great reminder of the near total destruction of the building and put into perspective just how amazing the reconstruction of this building is. It was an amazing moment of calm and one of my favourite moments of our two day tour of the area.
Splendid and huge cathedral from Ieper, never get enough of visit it !
Beautiful church. People visiting need to keep it down though as it’s not a social club
Very impressive cathedral. It's history is really sad, it's good to see that the restoration is sympathetic to it's history.
This church is a must-visit in Ypres. It wasn’t even on Trip Advisor’s top ten things to do in the city so it originally wasn’t on our list. Fortunately, it’s towering presence is hard to miss once you get to the main square. Stunning architecture, vibrant stained glass windows, and beautiful artwork.
