"St. Salvator's Cathedral in Bruges"

It began as a common parish church but obtained the status of cathedral in 1834 although the building's external image did not resemble a cathedral. Architect Robert Chantrell famous for his neo-Gothic restorations of English churches, was asked was hired to make the church larger and taller. The oldest surviving part, dating from the 12th century, formed the base of the mighty tower. Instead of adding a neo-Gothic part to the tower, Chantrell chose a very personal Romanesque design.
