St. Salvator's Cathedral
St Salvator’s Cathedral in Bruges retains a lower tower dating to the eleventh century. The present church was built broadly between 1275 and 1527. Its neo-Romanesque tower crown dates from 1844–1871, and work on a neo-Gothic chapter building began in 1912.

Editorial interpretation: The different dates offer a way to read successive building campaigns. Comparing the lower tower, its later crown and the chapter building encourages attention to how one ensemble combines several architectural periods.
