Our Lady, Star of the Sea
The Onze Lieve Vrouweplein was originally named "Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerkhof", because it was the churchyard of the Basilica of Our Lady and the neighbouring parish church of Saint Nicholas (demolished in 1838). The Romanesque Basilica of Our Lady is famous for the statue of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, the 12th-century figurative capitals in the choir ambulatory, and the church treasury ("Schatkamer Onze-Lieve-Vrouwebasiliek").
