St Gertrudis Leuven/Louvain

I have no idea whether there is any truth to the story but it is said that this church, built between the 13th and 15th century, and rebuilt almost entirely after its destruction in 1944, is a true wonder because the tower was built without any pins. The tower "without nails" dates from 1454. Its architect is Jan van Ruysbroeck, the master builder of the Brussels's town hall.
