The Church of Our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk) is one of the most remarkable churches in Bruges, Belgium, and a classic example of brick Gothic. Built mainly between the 13th and 15th centuries, it is famous for its brick spire: at 115.5 metres it is the second-highest brick tower in the world and, with the Belfry and St. Salvator\u2019s Cathedral, shapes the skyline of the city. The church stands by the canals in the historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The church is best known for Michelangelo\u2019s marble Madonna and Child. Originally made for the Piccolomini altar in Siena Cathedral, it was bought by the Mouscron family of Bruges merchants and shipped to the city in the early 16th century, the only sculpture by Michelangelo to leave Italy during his lifetime. The chancel holds the tombs of Charles the Bold and his daughter Mary of Burgundy, a Passion triptych by Bernard van Orley and an oratory that once linked the church with the neighbouring Gruuthuse palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informationen f\u00fcr Besucher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Die Kirche selbst ist kostenlos zu besichtigen, f\u00fcr den Museumsteil mit der Madonna und den Grabm\u00e4lern braucht man ein Ticket. Der restaurierte Innenraum ist ruhiger als der Belfried und der Markt. Fotografieren ohne Blitz ist meist erlaubt, bei Hochzeiten und Beerdigungen ist die Kirche f\u00fcr Besucher jedoch manchmal geschlossen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ticket for the museum section costs \u20ac10, \u20ac9 for visitors under 26 and \u20ac5 for under-18s; children under 13 enter free, and a combined ticket with the Gruuthuse Museum costs \u20ac19. The church is open from 9:30 to 17:00, on Sundays and Catholic holidays from 13:30 to 17:00; it closes at 16:00 on 24 and 31 December and is closed on 25 December, 1 January and Ascension Day. Mornings are the quietest time to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The church is on Mariastraat in the historic centre, a few minutes on foot from St. Salvator\u2019s Cathedral, the Gruuthuse Museum and the Markt, and about 15 minutes from Bruges railway station. City buses run from the station to the centre, and the surrounding canals and lanes are ideal for exploring medieval Bruges on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
