• 1945 articleBody "La Iglesia de San Nicolás fue construida en piedra azul calcárea de Tournai y constituye uno de los más bellos ejemplos de la arquitectura gótica escaldina. No es una iglesia cualquiera, sino que encarna un homenaje a la vibrante vida urbana que la rodea. <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item"><h2>Un Símbolo urbano del Dinamismo </h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span lang="ES-ES">La Iglesia de San Nicolás fue la primera iglesia parroquial de los Países Bajos erigida según la arquitectura urbana emancipada, y cuenta la historia de Gante a través de los siglos. Es un lugar donde la evolución y el dinamismo confluyen con el creciente número de habitantes y las nuevas tendencias arquitectónicas. Conozca la historia de una iglesia que nació de las necesidades de un próspero enclave comercial y refleja el desarrollo urbano floreciente de la Gante medieval. </span><span> </span></p></div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item"><h2>Estilo gótico escaldino </h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span lang="ES-ES">La Iglesia de San Nicolás, construida en el siglo XIII, fue el bastión espiritual de los comerciantes y mercaderes. El cimborrio, que no se encuentra encima de la entrada sino del cruce entre la nave central y el transepto, es el elemento más llamativo y único de la iglesia. Funciona como una especie de “linterna” natural, ya que permite que la luz natural penetre en el transepto a través de la torre. El interior de la iglesia es un mosaico de obras de arte inspiradas en los diversos gremios cuyas capillas albergaba. Déjese guiar por algunas obras maestras que convierten esta iglesia en una verdadera joya.</span><span> </span></p><p><span lang="ES-ES"></span></p><p><span lang="ES-ES">En el altar mayor brilla la obra de Nicolaas Liemaker, un artista del siglo XVII alabado por el propio Rubens. El cuadro cuenta la historia del nombramiento de San Nicolás como obispo en una obra dinámica y llena de emoción.</span><span> </span></p><p><span lang="ES-ES">El órgano romántico del fabricante de órganos francés Cavaillé-Coll, inaugurado en 1856, es una verdadera reliquia de la historia de la música. Desde la reapertura de la nave central reformada, el órgano del coro alto, situado encima de la portada oeste, vuelve a ser visible.</span><span> </span></p><p><span lang="ES-ES">La iglesia cuenta con vidrieras del artista Jean-Baptiste Capronnier, que narran la historia de María y la Crucificación de Jesús.

Er fungiert wie eine Art natürliche Laterne, da das Licht über den Turm das Querschiff beleuchtet.

• 1945 articleBody "Deze in Doornikse blauwe steen opgetrokken kerk is één van de mooiste voorbeelden van de Scheldegotiek.

Een plek waar snelheid en dynamiek hand in hand gaan met groeiende stadsbevolking en evoluerende architecturale trends. Verken de geschiedenis van een kerk die ontstond uit de behoeften van een bloeiende handelsnederzetting en de rijke stedelijke ontwikkeling van middeleeuws Gent weerspiegelt. </p></div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item"><h2>Scheldegotiek</h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>De Sint-Niklaaskerk, opgericht in de 13de eeuw, diende als het spirituele bolwerk voor kooplieden en handelaars<span>.

Hij fungeert als een soort natuurlijke lantaarn, omdat het licht via de toren de dwarsbeuk binnenvalt.</span> Het interieur is een lappendeken van kunstwerken, geïnspireerd door diverse gilden die er hun kapellen hadden. Laat je leiden langs enkele meesterwerken die deze kerk tot een waar kunstjuweel maken.</p><p>Op het hoofdaltaar schittert het werk van Nicolas De Liemaecker, een 17de-eeuwse kunstenaar geprezen door Rubens. Het schilderij vertelt het verhaal van Sint-Nicolaas' aanstelling als bisschop, vol dynamiek en emotie.</p><p>Het romantische orgel van Cavaillé-Coll, ingehuldigd in 1856, ademt muzikale geschiedenis. Sinds de heropening van het gerestaureerde schip is het orgel op het doksaal boven het westportaal weer zichtbaar.</p><p>De kerk herbergt glasramen van Capronnier die het verhaal van Maria en de Kruisdood van Jezus vertellen.
