San Salvador Cathedral is the Flanders Bruges Cathedral in Belgium today. San Salvador Cathedral was not originally built for the construction of the cathedral. It was granted status in the 19th century. Since the 10th century, the Holy Savior has been an ordinary parish church. In 1839, the roof of the cathedral collapsed in the fire. The towering tower was built in the oldest surviving part of the church and dates back to the 12th century. After completion, a small peak was added to the tower because the original design was considered too flat. The new Romanesque western tower is 99 meters high and is a fortress-style building.
