Een plek waar snelheid en dynamiek hand in hand gaan met groeiende stadsbevolking en evoluerende architecturale trends.

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.
