Cathedral of Our Lady Tournai

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Tournai (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Tournai) is one of the most remarkable cathedrals in Belgium and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2000. The 12th-century building combines a Romanesque nave with a Gothic choir and five imposing towers that characterise the town's skyline. Since a severe storm in 1999, the cathedral has been undergoing an extensive restoration that is still ongoing.

The cathedral is partly wheelchair-accessible. The main entrance has a few steps, but an adapted side entrance with a ramp provides access for wheelchair users. The nave and side aisles are largely level and easy to reach. Because of the ongoing restoration, certain sections may be temporarily closed. Adapted toilets are available in the adjoining visitor centre. Wheelchair users receive free admission to the treasury building.

The forecourt of the cathedral is level and paved in bluestone, partly with levelled strips for wheelchair users. Adapted parking spaces are available at Place Reine Astrid and along Rue des Chapeliers, both a short walk away. The old centre of Tournai is largely a pedestrian zone with increasingly accessible pavements.
