Saint Gummarus Church, Gothic church building in Lier, Belgium.
The Saint Gummarus Church features an 83-meter tower with an octagonal Rococo bell tower, containing white sandstone elements and intricate stained glass windows.
The construction of this Brabantine Gothic church began in 1378 and continued until 1540, with Philip the Handsome and Joanna of Castile celebrating their marriage here in 1496.
The church contains the Colibrant triptych, Imperial windows from 1516-1519, and a copy of the Turin Shroud, donated by Margaretha of Austria.
The church undergoes restoration works from 2021 to 2029, remaining partially open with specific visiting hours from Monday to Sunday except December 25 and January 1.
The tower houses Western Europe's heaviest 18th-century carillon, recognized as UNESCO World Heritage since 2014, with regular musical performances continuing from the 15th century.
