General information about The Cathedral of Notre-Dame

Surely Notre-Dame Cathedral of Saint-Omer is a particularly lavish cathedral. The pictures speak for themselves. There is even a Rubens hanging. The cathedral receives more than 200,000 visitors a year.

There are quite a few believers who flock to the Cathedral of Saint-Omer to ask for a miracle from Saint Erkembode (Erkembodo). He was the fifth bishop of Terwaan. This Saint is invoked to make people walk well or again. His porphyry tomb is near the altar. Consequently, there you will find dozens of (mostly children's) shoes. See the photo section on this.

Tip 1: Combine a visit to this cathedral with, for example, the project "La Station" (these are the renovated station buildings). Meanwhile, spend time visiting the ruins of the old abbey.

Tip 2: Interesting to visit just outside the city are the Ponds of Romelaëre (a few kilometers from there), "La Coupole" or "Eperleques". That way you immediately have a full-day program.
