More images available

edit

Just in case anyone requires more images from the cathedral windows or internal figures, e.g. Apostles, or St. Rombout. Just let me know. JKW (talk) 17:28, 26 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Black Madonna

edit

Does anyone know why the Black Madonna is depicted as a white Madonna in the cathedral window? Black glass availability restriction, color contrast, artist interpretation, any other reason? JKW (talk) 17:35, 26 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Highest Spires Mention

edit

I noticed on List of highest church naves that there is apparently no source listed on a page that references this article. It was 'dutch churches' or simply the dutch page that mentioned the height without a source. I don't know what's going on, but I grabbed a source that might work just in case we still need one - European-Traveler.com ToxicReap (talk) 13:22, 31 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Clarify, please

edit

…the very heavy St. Rumbold's tower was built on what had once been wetlands, though with foundations only three metres deep its site appears to have been well-chosen.

Point not clear.


Pope John Paul II celebrated a Mass at St. Rumbold's. Jo Haazen, then the City's carillon player, heard him state: "Your tower is not complete."
