Brabantine Gothic is a style of architecture that emerged in the Brabant region of modern-day Belgium and Netherlands during the late Middle Ages. It is characterized by its intricate stonework, tall structures, and large stained glass windows, which allowed for more light inside churches and cathedrals. This style is often seen in the design of religious buildings, showcasing a blend of local traditions and influences from French Gothic architecture. Key examples of Brabantine Gothic include the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels and the St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen. The style reflects the prosperity of the region during the 14th and 15th centuries, as cities grew and sought to express their wealth and devotion through grand architectural projects.
