St. John's Cathedral in 's-Hertogenbosch is, after Mechelen and Antwerp, the most important creation of Brabant Gothic architecture. It became a decisive influence on several subsequent buildings. The cathedral, begun in the 1370s, was designed to compete with 13th-century models such as the cathedrals of Amiens and Cologne, particularly in the richness of decoration used on the outside. The figurative decoration on the buttressing and the gablets over the windows is unique.
