CHURCH OF OUR LADY ACROSS THE DYLE - MECHELEN, BELGIUM
THIS IS THE 2ND LARGEST CHURCH IN MECHELEN, BELGIUM. YOU CAN SEE IT FROM FROM THE TOP OF THE TOWER OF ST. RUMBOLD. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT FIND A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CHURCH. I DO KNOW IT WAS BUILD DURING THE 14TH & 15TH CENTURIES. BUT IT WAS A PLEASANT CHURCH TO SEE; VERY LIGHT AND AIRY. I WISH I KNEW THAT AHEAD OF TIME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE MADE A POINT TO TAKE A PICTURE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE INTERIOR WAS ONCE MUCH MORE ORNATE UNTIL WORLD WAR II BOMBS DESTROYED IT.
I WONDER IF THESE HOLES ARE FROM BULLETS DURING THE WAR
