Saint Michael’s Church 聖邁克爾教堂
Saint Michael’s Church (Dutch: Sint-Michielskerk) is a Roman Catholic church in Ghent, Belgium built in a late Gothic style. It has rich interior decoration.
聖邁克爾教堂（荷蘭語：Sint-Michielskerk）是一座位於比利時根特的羅馬天主教堂，建於哥特式晚期。 它有豐富的室內裝飾。
Documents from 1105 testify to the existence on the site of a chapel dedicated to St. Michael which was subordinate to another parish. The building was twice destroyed by fire early in the twelfth century and rebuilt.From 1147 it was recognized as an independent parochial church.
Construction of the current late Gothic church was probably commenced in 1440, and took place in two phases, separated by a long interval. During the first phase, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the western part of the building was built, including the tower, the three-aisled nave and transept. This was completed in 1528. The construction of the western tower continued and by 1566 two levels of the tower were completed. Then, due to religious conflicts, not only did construction stop, but looting and destruction took place. Part of the church was destroyed in 1578 by Calvinists and in 1579 the old choir was demolished.
Reconstruction of the church only started in 1623. The early Gothic choir was replaced by a choir in Brabantine Gothic. Local architect Lieven Cruyl made a design for the unfinished western tower in 1662. The design provided for a spire of 134-metre-high in Brabantine Gothic style but was never realised. As a result of these delays and cost concerns, the tower was in the end never completed. Only in 1828 was a flat roof built over the unfinished tower.
The sacristy in the north-east was constructed in Baroque style in 1650-1651.
來自1105的文件證明了在聖邁克爾教堂的遺址上存在，該教堂從屬於另一個教區。該建築曾在12世紀初被火燒毀並重建。從1147年起，它被認為是一個獨立的教區教堂。
目前晚期哥特式教堂的建造可能於1440年開始，分兩個階段進行，間隔很長。在第一階段，在十五和十六世紀，建築的西部建成，包括塔，三通中殿和橫斷面。這是在1528年完成的。西塔的建造工作仍在繼續，到1566年，兩座塔樓完工。然後，由於宗教衝突，不僅建築停止了，而且還發生了搶劫和破壞。教堂的一部分於1578年被加爾文主義者摧毀，並於1579年舊的合唱團被拆除。
教堂的重建始於1623年。早期的哥特式合唱團被布拉班特哥特式的合唱團所取代。當地建築師Lieven Cruyl於1662年為未完工的西部塔樓進行了設計。該設計提供了一個134米高的Brabantine哥特式風格的尖頂，但從未實現過。由於這些延誤和成本問題，塔樓最終沒有完工。僅在1828年，一座平屋頂建在未完工的塔樓上。
東北的聖器收藏館於1650年至1651年以巴洛克風格建造。

Organ
The organ dates back to an instrument that was built in 1817 by the organ builder De Volder. The style of the front is fully made in gothic revival. In 1951 the instrument was remodeled and expanded by the organ builder Anneessens. The organ has 47 stops on three manuals and a pedal.
Church Treasure
There are numerous silver and gold artifacts in the silver collection. An important item is the relic of St Dorothea, in silver. Very famous is the relic of the sacred “Doorn” brought to the church by Mary, Queen of Scots, and a relic of the true Cross a gift of the Archduke Albrecht and Isabella in 1619.
