Audrey Tolbert

The Ghent Altarpiece lives here and is worthy of the longest pilgrimage. The van Eyck bros knew what they were doing and the very informative and detailed audio guide will help properly explain it.

Jordi

Nice black and white marble altar, astonishing pulpit and red brick walls. Must see: Van Eyck 's Mystic Lamb altarpiece. 4€ (audioguide in many languages included: be fresh to hear all the comments!)

Dan Mondragón Somera

Stunning cathedral , on the outside it’s not that amazing but on the inside it wows your mind. Be respectful and follow the “no photos” rule.

Hana V

Amazing place. Mystic lamb (lamgods) is a must see! Take your time to see the other chapels aswell.

Robin Bertels

The lower left panel of The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb , The Righteous Judges, was stolen in 1934 and never found. Self-proclaimed thief Arsène Goedertier has taken its hiding-place to his grave.

Tourist Information Center - Visit Gent

Saint Bavo's Cathedral is home to one of the most influential artworks ever: the Ghent Altarpiece , key player in 'The Monuments Men'. The Cathedral figures as York Cathedral in 'The White Queen '.

Harry Roberts

I’m very much not-religious, but this building was astonishing . The size and intricacy was humbling. Pop in, even if only for a few minutes.

Larisa Grollemond

Make sure to see the real Van Eyck , not just the reproductions installed in various chapels.

Vasily K.

A VERY long stairs , but a fantastic view from the top. The same stairs for a way down!

Igor Nakonechnyi

Check the skeleton of the whale behind the altar!

Tessy R

Impressive! Listen to the organ if you can.

Kristof Dewilde

Jesus is the real mayor.

Mike V

Very pretty but needs an audio tour .

Sam Perez

Vale muito a pena, é linda, tem várias obras, cripta, um local onde se faziam julgamentos. Linda! Free.

Hay catedrales más interesantes, pero sólo ésta tiene ‘La Adoración del Cordero Místico', una joya de la pintura universal que te dejará boquiabierto. Cobran 4 euros por verla, pero como si fueran 40.

Gernot Nawratil

Sehr schöne Kathedrale ! Besuch lohnt sich ! Noch nie eine solche spezielle Kathedrale gesrhen...

Angelina Zhirinas

Кроме шедевра Ван Эйка тут есть на что ещё посмотреть, церковь невероятно красивая. Часов в 16 в субботу попали на органный концерт .

Le Vol

От собора в полном восторге! По насыщенности содержания, это настоящий музей .

Jay Lee

한국어로는 성 바프 대성당. 고딕-로마네스크 양식을 모두 느낄 수 있다!

Paul Bystrov

В соборе - кит!

Amazing, a must see. The work is almost 600 year old, the restoration is nearly complete. The colours are amazing. - Hana V
