The symbol of the Belgian city of Mechelen is undoubtedly the imposing St. Rumbold's Tower. You can climb this historic cathedral tower all the way up the 538 steps to the roof. Along the way, you can visit the six tower rooms where, among other things, the history of the tower is told, the 2 carillons and the original technical rooms are also open to the public.

What is the overhead crane doing in the Crane Room? Why is there a pile of roof tiles in the Forge? Why is there a clock room but no clock and hands on the outside of the tower? And why are there two carillons? Climb the St. Rumbold's Tower, find out, and discover more than 500 years of Mechelen history in the heart of the city!

The climb to the top is impressive and intense. Once there, the impressive view from the sky-walk will leave you speechless. On a clear day, you can even see the Brussels Atomium and the port of Antwerp.
