Guided tour: Historical City Walk

Did you know that Mechelen played an important political and economic role in the Burgundian period in the fifteenth century, when the city was under the rule of the Dukes of Burgundy? Many historical buildings testify to this. Hold tight, because it’s a long list: St Rumbold’s Cathedral, the former palaces of Margaret of Austria and Margaret of York, the Palace of the Grand Council, etc., etc. So don’t waste any time! Follow the guide through sixteenth-century Mechelen. The Historical City Walk now also takes in the newly discovered fourteenth-century wall paintings in St. John’s Church. Unmissable! A visit to City Hall is included, subject to availability.
