St. Martin's Cathedral

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.

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

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.

One of the finest and largest churches I've seen so far.

Splendid and huge cathedral from Ieper, never get enough of visit it !

Finding a few minutes to myself in the middle of a school trip, I hesitantly walked through the door of this wonderful cathedral not know what to expect. The sight was inspiring. I loved the solemn atmosphere and was thrilled to have the whole building to myself on a pleasant Friday morning. The artwork that adorned the walls was beautiful and the sculptures had a great variety. I particularly liked looking at the history of the building and reconciling the ruins to the restoration and how tastefully it has been done. The carvings salvaged from the ruins are a great reminder of the near total destruction of the building and put into perspective just how amazing the reconstruction of this building is. It was an amazing moment of calm and one of my favourite moments of our two day tour of the area.

Very impressive cathedral. It's history is really sad, it's good to see that the restoration is sympathetic to it's history.

Superbe cathedral of flanders architecture with stunning stain glass window... and an incredible organ...

Ambience - A lovely cathedral centrally located to all the big touristy spots. Lovely sculptures, and stained glass.

Accessibility - I don’t recall any steps and in some areas there are slight ramps.

Cost - Absolutely free!

Tip - Lots of opportunities to take photos of all the carvings, sculptures, the centre altar etc. Very beautiful cathedral with high roofs and loads of light streaming in.

Amazing place, definitely recommend visiting at some point

Impressively reconstructed after almost total destruction during WW1.

Beautifully preserved and rebuilt cathedral with much historic importance, filled with culturally and historically noteworthy artefacts, as of now also some contemporary art pieces within. Old paintings of amazing quality on the walls, too. And the new glass stained windows are of all colours. Very respectful and respectable to its predecesor, like everything in Ypres.

A very impressive cathedral, well worth a visit. There's quite a bit of parking on the surrounding streets but these all require a ticket. There's a large car park only 4 minutes walk

The Great War Remembered... Super!

Mass time was 530pm Saturday for Sunday obligation

Huge cathedral, amazing to think that it was totally rebuilt after World War 1. Calm and cool interior, beautiful rose window, free entry and quiet.

What time is mass please

We didn't venture inside owing to time constraints but the exterior is beautiful, particularly attractively lit at night

This is a wonderful cathedral so beautiful especially the two rose windows well worth visiting

Small relic’s and artifacts of older church destroyed in WWI and it’s beautiful as well!
