Cathedral on the market square Tournai

This is the Sint-Martinuskerk. From a Romanesque church building, dating from the 11th and early 12th centuries, one bay of the single-nave nave has been preserved, located between the tower and the rest of the nave. This Romanesque part is built in Tournai stone. At the end of the 16th century, the nave with transept, choir, and side chapels was built in brick and sandstone. In 1775, the pre-built brick tower was erected, flanked by two polygonal stair towers. A few stones from the Romanesque period, decorated with sculptures, can still be found on the exterior of the church. Thus, a building was created that, in addition to a Romanesque part, contains a predominantly Gothic nave, choir, and transept, and a classicist tower. (Wikipedia)

Super nice when there are no others to be seen. And doubly pleasant when you have the wind at your back.

The belfry of Tournai is the oldest in Belgium (12th century). The building, which is part of UNESCO World Heritage, is 72 meters high and dominates the Grand-Place. During the ascent of the tower with its 257 steps, one discovers various didactic exhibitions, the prison, the carillonneur's room, and finally the bells which ring every Sunday during the summer (around 3:30 PM). The belfry of Tournai, built in 1192, symbolizes municipal freedoms. Its bell (the “Bancloque”) was used to warn the population of trials, executions, invasions, fires, etc. The belfry served as a watchtower, prison, bell tower, and town hall. You have access to the first terrace, which offers a breathtaking view of Tournai and its surroundings. source: visitwapi.be

The Mauroy Bridge is one of three movable bridges spanning the canal at Saint-Léger. Each bridge had a bridge keeper's house, where the bridge keeper lived, responsible for opening and closing the bridge each time a ship passed. These houses were often also cafés... or still are, as here. Just beyond the bridge, the old Mauroy farm bordered an imposing castle, the Mauroy Castle, designed by Sanderus in 1644. In 1504, the castle and the Mauroy estate belonged to Arnould de Maulde, a lord of the manor. Source: brochure "Promenade Saint-Léger"

This original, enormous artwork consists of a table and 10 robinia wood chairs. These pieces of furniture enhance the illusion of oversized space and transport the viewer back to childhood. It's one of the artistic works you can discover along the Arty trail, which runs between Roubaix (FR) and Tournai (BE) along the Roubaix and Scheldt Canal (www.parcoursarty.com).
