The twin-towered Votive Church is a disproportionate brown-brick monstrosity that was pledged after the flood in 1879 but not completed until 1930. About the only things worth seeing inside are the gigantic organ with 9040 pipes, the cupola covered in frescoes and the choir. To climb the tower, enter via the Votive Church Exhibition Centre.
