Fodor's Review:

The late-Gothic St. Paul's Church, built 1530-71, is a repository of more than 50 outstanding paintings. There are three by Rubens, including a visceral depiction of Jesus's flagellation, as well as early works by Jordaens and Van Dyck. The church is further enriched by more than 200 17th- and 18th-century sculptures, including the confessionals attributed to Peeter Verbruggen the Elder. A Baroque altar completed in 1639 towers over the more somber Gothic nave. Sint-Pauluskerk was restored in 1968 after damage from a major fire. There's a series of walking tours and presentations—available in English, French, and Dutch—on the church's history, art, and artifacts.
