Saint Martin's Church, Gothic church in Ghent, Belgium
Saint Martin's Church stands with its large tower above the crossing, built using blue-gray stone from the Tournai region of Belgium.
The construction of the church began in the early 13th century, replacing a previous Romanesque structure and incorporating the Scheldt Gothic architectural elements.
The church functioned as a central location for religious ceremonies and guild meetings, representing the intersection of spiritual and civic life in Ghent.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours that explain its architectural features and historical importance to the city of Ghent.
The building forms part of an architectural axis with the Castle of Gerald the Devil, creating a historical route through medieval Ghent.
