The church was built between 1290 and 1549, and its distinctive feature is its 122.30-meter high brick tower, the second-highest brick tower in the world, after the tower of St. Martin’s Church in Landshut, Germany (130.6 meters) in Bavaria, In the chancel behind the main altar are the tombs of Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy and his daughter, Princess Mary. The gilded bronze figures of father and daughter rest on slabs of black stone. Both have crowns on their heads, and the duke is in full armor with the Order of the Golden Fleece.
