This UNESCO World Heritage Site is without doubt one of the best preserved cathedrals in Northern Europe. Unlike its namesake in Paris, this church is built in a mix of Baroque, Gothic and Romanesque. As soon as you enter, the first thing to notice is one of the most impressive Romanesque naves I’ve ever seen, with a beautiful Rose stained glass on one end, but a surprisingly simple Baroque altar on the other. Other than that it’s a bit difficult to know how to rate this visit since much of the building, both inside and out were clad in scaffolding due to an ongoing restoration work which is not scheduled to finish for years. The beautiful stained glass windows behind the current high altar are all hidden by scaffolding. Where it not for the Treasury Museum, some fantastic Gothic stonework and the stained glass windows at the transepts, the visit would’ve been a real disappointment. This church is without question the star attraction of Tournai. Sadly because of the restoration work, it’s not a must see until it’s complete. I did however climb up the Belfry of Tournai and got fantastic views of the Church and it’s easier to see the Romanesque and Gothic parts of the church from high up.

The roman part has been renovated both in and outside, but we'll have to wait probably a few years to have the same splendid view on the gothic part

It's a nice one. But they have a Sunday missa in the morning. Don't go at that time if you wanna go visit inside just visiting

Beautiful cathedral in the midst of reparations. the treasure is beautiful although no photos can be taken. The restoration premises some amazing results and the parts are ready to be seen are breathtaking. Free entry makes it a place not to be missed in the centre of Tournai.

Beautiful and underrated cathedral. Really short walk from the center square of the city, with a panoramic, bird's-eye view from the nearby Belfry. No large crowds of tourists, just emptiness and peace. The interior is also always open to enter and respectfully admire, and is quite beautiful.

First time in my life I've seen the cathedral and it's disappointing. This is a beautiful gothic cathedral with a Romanesque southern entrance and it's vast, bigger than Gloucester cathedral, but it is in a state of decay, more than half of the building walled off for restoration work. The city itself is a reflection of this. Tournai used to be rich and beautiful, with cobbled streets and a truly ancient character. Now there's drunks pissing in the street during the middle of the day, with shops closed for the foreseeable future.
