The Catholic Cathedrale Saint-Michel in Brussels was named in honor of the city's patron saints and is the country's most important church and the Episcopal see of the Archbishop of Mechlin-Brussels. It is the church where all of the country's royal weddings, christenings and funerals are held. The church houses the relics of Saint Gudula who was the daughter of a 7th century Carolingian nobleman. The beautiful church was completed in 1047 and in the 13th century was renovated to include Gothic design elements and two round towers and the choir.

In the 15th century further changes were made and the façade was completed. The highlights of the church include the brilliant stained glass windows which are attributed to a number of artists including the 16th century painted Bernard van Orley. Through a glass floor you can see the remains of an 11th century Romanesque church which stood on this site before the present church.
