St. Catherine's Church is the third tallest church building in Belgium and one of the tallest brick buildings in the world. The tower is 105 meters high. The tallest brick tower is that of St. Martin's Church in Landshut: 130.6 meters. The second tallest brick tower - and also the highest in Belgium - is that of the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, at 122.3 metres.
St. Catherine's Church is also called Lange Katrien. It was designed by Rombout Keldermans, a member of the famous Keldermans family of architects. From Alkmaar to Utrecht and Middelburg, from Lier to Hoogstraten, from Zoutleeuw to Tongerlo: everywhere the Keldermanses built churches and buildings in Brabant Gothic. Monuments that to this day determine what our cities look like. Just think of the Antwerp cathedral, the Mechelen St. Rumbold's Tower, the town halls of Ghent and Leuven. Even the Gothic cathedral of Salamanca.
