Did you know that Mechelen played an important political and economic role in the fifteenth century, when the city was under the rule of the Dukes of Burgundy? Many historical buildings testify to this: St. Rumbold's Cathedral, the former palaces of Margaret of Austria and Margaret of York, the Palace of the Grand Council, etc. etc. The Historical City Walk now also takes in the newly discovered fourteenth-century wall paintings in St. John's Church. Follow your guide through historical Mechelen.
