A stunning cathedral with some wonderful treasures inside. It had some interesting statues by the entrance and I loved the circular stained glass windows. Their was some huge paintings some of which were quite dark with age. The cathedrals treasure were secure behind glass and it was nice to see the old robes and artefacts. The ceilings were amazing. The modern war memorial was a nice touch. Well worth visiting and free entrance too

A beautiful and poignant landmark St. Martin’s Cathedral is a stunning and peaceful place to visit in the heart of Ypres. The architecture is absolutely breathtaking – Gothic spires, vaulted ceilings, and lovely stained glass windows that catch the light beautifully. It’s hard to believe that much of it was rebuilt after WWI, as it feels so timeless and authentic. There’s a real sense of history and quiet reflection here, especially considering Ypres’ role in the Great War. It’s not just a religious site, but a powerful reminder of resilience and remembrance. Admission is free, and it’s well worth stepping inside even if you’re only in Ypres for a short while. A must-see if you’re exploring the Flanders battlefields or the surrounding historic town centre.

Construction started on the church in 1230, and was finished in 1370. It was heavily damaged during the First World War. Subsequently (1922–1930) the ruin was cleared and the church was entirely rebuilt following the original plans, although the tower was built with a higher spire than the original. Incredibly majestic and certainly worth a visit.

This church is a must-visit in Ypres. It wasn’t even on Trip Advisor’s top ten things to do in the city so it originally wasn’t on our list. Fortunately, it’s towering presence is hard to miss once you get to the main square. Stunning architecture, vibrant stained glass windows, and beautiful artwork.

St. Martin’s Cathedral in Ypres is a majestic example of Gothic architecture, rebuilt after WWI with stunning attention to detail. Its soaring ceilings, beautiful stained glass windows, and serene atmosphere make it a peaceful place for reflection. The cathedral houses impressive artworks and the tomb of Bishop Jansenius. Located near the Cloth Hall, it’s a must-see for history and architecture lovers, offering a glimpse into Ypres’ rich heritage and resilience.
