The main monument in the city center is the Notre Dame church (Our Lady's Church). It was built as a Romanesque church at the end of the 12th century. When in 1227 a part of the rock behind the church destroyed the tower, the Notre Dame church was partially rebuilt in Gothic Style. This new construction is still the dominating style of the choir and the northern transept. In 1466 Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy and his son Charles the Bold punished an uprising in Dinant by setting fire to the city. 800 citizens were thrown in the Meuse river and a part of the church was destroyed. Originally, the church should have been crowned with two majestic towers. It soon became obvious that Dinant could never (financially ? ) cope with this plan and, therefore, the main entrance was crowned with a 68m high onion-shaped tower.
