1009 BE - Notre-Dame Cathedral in Tournai (2000)

Brief Description

"The Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Tournai was built in the first half of the 12th century. It is especially distinguished by a Romanesque nave of extraordinary dimensions, a wealth of sculpture on its capitals and a transept topped by five towers, all precursors of the Gothic style. The choir, rebuilt in the 13th century, is in the pure Gothic style."

图尔奈圣母大教堂

"图尔奈圣母大教堂建于12世纪上半叶，因其罗马式的中厅、柱头上的大量雕塑以及上有五座塔楼的耳堂而显得与众不同。耳堂上的那五座塔楼均为哥特式艺术风格的先驱，后重建于13世纪的高坛则是纯粹的哥特式风格。"
