| Begun in the 12th century on even older foundations, the building combines the work of three design periods with striking effect, the heavy and severe character of the Romanesque nave contrasting remarkably with the Transitional work of the transept and the fully developed Gothic of the choir. | WIKI |
| The transept is the most distinctive part of the building, with its cluster of five bell towers and apsidal (semicircular) ends. | WIKI |
| Southern transept and towers | WIKI |
| The transept arms, built in about the mid-12th century, have apsidal ends, a feature borrowed in all probability from certain Rhenish churches, and which would appear to have made its influence felt in the northeast of France, as at Noyon and Soissons. | WIKI |
| The square towers that flank the transept arms reach a height of 83 metres (272xc2xa0ft). | WIKI |

| The present building is not homogeneous with regard to its chronology and conception, but the result of three coherent projects, completed and still distinguishable: the Romanesque nave and the transept, and the Gothic choir. | UNESCO |
| In particular, it is distinguished by a Romanesque nave of impressive dimensions and richly sculptured and by a transept with five towers that indicate the beginnings of Gothic art. | UNESCO |
| The dimensions of the transept adorned with five towers, is surely the most emblematic characteristic of the Tournai Cathedral. | UNESCO |
