Sint-Gummaruskerk

Sint-Gummaruskerk Review

The Sint-Gummaruskerk, where Philip I and Joanna of Castile (the parents of Charles V) were wed, is a product of the De Waghemakere-Keldermans architectural partnership that worked so well in building the cathedral in Antwerp. The church is notable for its stained-glass windows from the 15th and 16th centuries—those in the choir were the gift of Maximilian of Austria (father of Philip the Handsome), who visited in 1516 and is depicted in one of the windows, along with his wife, Mary of Burgundy.
