This church was commissioned by the Jesuits and built between 1607 and 1611 by Jan Persijn (architect) to replace the 14th century Holy Ghost's Chapel. It has a basilican structure with a nave and two aisles as well as a semi-circular choir at the northern end and two towers, all in late Gothic style.
It's now home to the Saint-Michael movement, kind of a local version of the Taizé movement.
You'll notice that the interior has been made somewhat more contemporary.

Bart, these are all beautiful. I really enjoy your architectural work. I've probably asked you this before, but what lens(es) do you use for most of your architectural photos? And how much post processing do you have to do in terms of straightening walls and such? I

Thanks, Nicole! Appreciated!

 

I've really used all kind of lenses for architecture.

These are with an old pentax lens, super-takumar 28mm f/3.5 on a sony a7ii.

 

I use DxO PhotoLab as my converter. It has their ViewPoint tool integrated.

Of course there's no camera-lens module available for this old takumar but the ViewPoint offers a neat package for geometrical and perspective correction.

 

Not that I did remarkable modification on this set, as I remember.

Some leveling, cropping and here and there some perspective correction.

Thanks for the response. Even though I use different equipment, it's helpful to know the focal length you were using. I have the hardest time with good perspective correction--I should go look up some tutorials. Is ViewPoint a tool or preset in DxO? I tried DxO but never quite caught on--I think I was just too lazy and set in my ways with Adobe products.

ViewPoint is a tool from DxO, Nicole: DxO ViewPoint - Take complete control of the geometry of your images

 

It can be used as plug-in for LR or Photoshop, as a standalone application and integrated in DxO PhotoLab.

I find it quite easy to get good results with it.
