What should have been a triumphal monument with a majestic tower became after all a church with a flat-roofed tower of 46 metres. This turned out to be quite fortunate in the end, as major ground-stability problems were discovered at a later date. The location would never have<br>been able to support a heavier weight.</p><blockquote><p><em>Did you know: The brewers\u2019 guild, which was the main sponsor of this church, offered the insurgents free beer during the iconoclastic riots in the hope of distracting them from their destructive activities and saving the interior of the church.</em></p></blockquote></div>\n      \n      </div>\n\n  <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n          \n            <div class=\"field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item\"><h2>Famous artwork</h2>\n</div>\n      \n            <div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"><p>The church contains numerous paintings and sculptures by famous masters.

The painting shows Christ on the cross, flanked by Mary, John, Mary Magdalene and some soldiers.</p><p>A remarkable work of art is located in the chapel of the Brotherhood of Loreto. The marble sculpture of Mary with the infant Jesus was made by Rombaut Pauwels (1625-1692).

A design from 1662 planned a 134-metre tower (by way of comparison, the tower of <a href=\"/en/see-do/st-bavos-cathedral-majestic-tower\" data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"1e94fa5f-0f94-4fa9-a3dd-58d3d5b9d6ca\" data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" title=\"St Bavo\u2019s Cathedral: majestic tower\">St Bavo\u2019s Cathedral</a> is only 89 metres tall), but this ambitious plan was shelved due to a lack of funds. What should have been a triumphal monument with a majestic tower became after all a church with a flat-roofed tower of 46 metres. This turned out to be quite fortunate in the end, as major ground-stability problems were discovered at a later date. The location would never have<br>been able to support a heavier weight.</p><blockquote><p><em>Did you know: The brewers\u2019 guild, which was the main sponsor of this church, offered the insurgents free beer during the iconoclastic riots in the hope of distracting them from their destructive activities and saving the interior of the church.</em></p></blockquote></div>\n      \n      </div>\n\n  <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n          \n            <div class=\"field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item\"><h2>Famous artwork</h2>\n</div>\n      \n            <div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"><p>The church contains numerous paintings and sculptures by famous masters. One of the most famous works of Flemish Painting can be found here: Golgotha by Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641). The painter created this work in 1630 for St Michael's Church. The painting shows Christ on the cross, flanked by Mary, John, Mary Magdalene and some soldiers.</p><p>A remarkable work of art is located in the chapel of the Brotherhood of Loreto. The marble sculpture of Mary with the infant Jesus was made by Rombaut Pauwels (1625-1692). Inspired by the similar sculpture by Michelangelo (1475-1564) on display in the Church of Our Lady in Bruges.</p></div>\n      \n      </div>\n\n  <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--photo-strip paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n          \n\n  \n\n  <div  class=\"baguettebox-wrapper baguettebox--count-2\">\n  <ul class=\"baguettebox container-inline\" id=\"baguettebox-baguettebox--7\">\n          <li class=\"baguettebox--item baguettebox--item-1\">\n        <div class=\"field-content\">\n          <a  title=\"painting of Christ on the cross - \u00A9 www.lukasweb.be - Art in Flanders vzw\" href=\"https://visit.gent.be/sites/default/files/styles/photo_large/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Michielskerk%2C%20Christus%20aan%20het%20kruis%2C%20Antoon%20Van%20Dyck%20%281%29.jpg?itok=YGf1rQmA\"><img src=\"/sites/default/files/styles/photo_strip_mobile/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Michielskerk%2C%20Christus%20aan%20het%20kruis%2C%20Antoon%20Van%20Dyck%20%281%29.jpg?h=d52f8c09&amp;itok=GCDPXqDk\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" alt=\"painting of Christ on the cross\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-style-photo-strip-mobile\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n\n</a>\n\n        </div>\n      </li>\n          <li class=\"baguettebox--item baguettebox--item-2\">\n        <div class=\"field-content\">\n          <a  title=\"marble sculpture of woman with child - \u00A9 www.lukasweb.be - Art in Flanders vzw\" href=\"https://visit.gent.be/sites/default/files/styles/photo_large/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Michielskerk%2C%20O.L.Vrouw%20met%20kind%2C%20Rombaut%20Pauwels%20%284%29.jpg?itok=gL35XxW3\"><img src=\"/sites/default/files/styles/photo_strip_mobile/public/media/img/2024-01/Sint-Michielskerk%2C%20O.L.Vrouw%20met%20kind%2C%20Rombaut%20Pauwels%20%284%29.jpg?h=a1262ff3&amp;itok=9MfmLi-1\" width=\"336\" height=\"240\" alt=\"marble sculpture of woman with child\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-style-photo-strip-mobile\" loading=\"lazy\" />\n\n</a>\n\n        </div>\n      </li>\n      </ul>\n\n  <div class=\"baguettebox--count\">\n    <a href=\"#\" class=\"launch-gallery\">\n      <i class=\"icon-photos\"></i>\n      <span>\n        2 photos      </span>\n    </a>\n  </div>\n</div>\n\n\n      </div>\n\n  <div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--brochure paragraph--view-mode--full\">\n          \n            <div class=\"field field--name-field-brochure field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item\">\n\n<article class=\"node node--type-brochure node--view-mode-default\">\n  <div class=\"node--type-brochure-top\">\n    <div class=\"node__content\">\n      \n              <h2 class=\"h3\"><span>Monumentale Kerken Gent</span></a></h2>\n            \n      \n            <div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"><p>Ghent's horizon is characterised by its many churches and their towers.
