About Mechelen
Mechelen is a Flemish city between Antwerp and Brussels, with a towering cathedral, a former Habsburg court, quiet waterways and a carillon school.
Mechelen lies on the River Dijle, midway between Brussels and Antwerp, in Flanders. In the early sixteenth century it was the capital of the Habsburg Netherlands, ruled by Margaret of Austria from a palace in the centre, and the city still has grand Gothic and Renaissance buildings from that time. St Rumbold's Cathedral, with its unfinished tower, 97 metres tall, looms over the Grote Markt.
