Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula

In July 1836, the famous Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet established the Meridian line in the Saint Gudula Cathedral in Brussels. You can still go see that copper line. Together with the light spot, you can determine the exact noon yourself. The light spot is placed under the leg of Louis II of Hungary, who is depicted in the stained glass window. This spot casts a light on the copper line at noon. It is best to arrive one or two hours before noon (depending on whether it is summer time or winter time), as you will see that the actual noon does not match the 12 o'clock on your watch.
