Eglise Notre-Dame du Sablon (Church of Our Lady of the Sablon)

Frommer's Review

This flamboyant late-Gothic church, dating from the 15th to the 16th centuries, was paid for by the city's Guild of Crossbowmen, and was their guild church. It is noted for its four-fold gallery with brightly colored stained-glass windows, illuminated from the inside at night, in striking contrast with the gray-white arches and walls. Also worth seeing are the two baroque chapels decorated with funeral symbols in white marble. Inside is a celebrated statue of St. Hubert with an interesting history: It was actually stolen from Brussels and taken to Antwerp but was seized and returned to the church in 1348, where it has remained ever since.
