Title	Cloth Hall and St. Martin's Cathedral at Ypres
Description	This photograph features Cloth Hall and St. Martin's Cathedral in ruins.
Historical note	Ypres sustained a huge amount of damage during World War I. German bombing left the Cloth Hall and St. Martin’s Cathedral in ruins. The "Cloth Hall" was begun in the 13th century and functioned as a town hall and a covered market featuring Ypres’s key economic product, cloth. St. Martin’s Cathedral stood on the site of an earlier church dating back to 1000 A.D. and was a perfect example of Gothic style. Both were rebuilt after the war to their prewar condition and to house the Flanders Museum.
