Dinant – church and citadel

This is the 16th century Notre-Dame collegiate church, on the banks of the River Meuse in Dinant, Belgium. It was built in local limestone and, as you can see here, is a dominant landmark.

 

Above it is the citadel which commands the river crossing. It was built in the 11th century by the Prince Bishops of Liège.

 

Dinant, by the way, is also the birthplace of the inventor of the saxophone, Adolphe Sax.
