Why St Rumbold's Cathedral matters
St Rumbold's Tower is enormous and was never finished to its planned height. You can climb it to reach a high platform with views across Flanders. Inside the cathedral are works by Van Dyck, and the climb rewards you with a view across the flat landscape of the region.
Talking points
- The tower was intended to be even taller.
- You can climb to a high viewing platform.
- A painting by Van Dyck hangs inside.
