St. Rumbold's Cathedral in MechelenThe Church of Our Lady in Breda
Brabantine Gothic, occasionally called Brabantian Gothic, is a significant variant of Gothic architecture that is typical for the Low Countries. It surfaced in the first half of the 14th century at St. Rumbold's Cathedral in the city of Mechelen.[1][2][Note 1][3]
Reputed architects such as Jean d'Oisy,[4]
Jacob van Thienen,[5]
Everaert Spoorwater,[6]
Matheus de Layens,[7]
and the Keldermans and De Waghemakere[8]
families disseminated the style and techniques to cities and towns of the Duchy of Brabant and beyond.[Note 2]
For churches and other major buildings, the tenor prevailed and lasted throughout the Renaissance.[9]
