Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, Parish church in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium.
The Church of Our Lady features a 50-meter tower topped with a golden statue of Mary, adding 6 meters to the total height.
The construction of this Neo-Romanesque church began in 1841 under architect Louis Roelandt, marking a new era of religious architecture in Sint-Niklaas.
The church interior contains neo-Byzantine murals created by Godfried Guffens, showing the cycle of Mary's Sorrows, Prophets, and Christ's glorification.
Located at Onze Lieve Vrouwplein in Sint-Niklaas, the church currently requires scaffolding due to structural repairs scheduled for 2024.
Since 2014, a pair of peregrine falcons has established a nesting site in the church tower, with webcams monitoring their breeding activities.
