Cathedral | XIII-XV | | Catholic Church
With its beautiful interior and many art treasures, a visit to St Rombouts Cathedral can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. That's why we would like to introduce you to our guide: Lucas Faydherbe! This famous Mechelen sculptor and architect, pupil of the great Pieter Paul Rubens, lived from 1617 to 1697. Together with his contemporaries, he left an indelible mark on the cathedral's appearance.
Faydherbe is therefore the ideal guide to explore with you thirteen highlights in the nave of the church. He provides his explanations in a stylish visitor's guidebook with beautiful photographic material, supplemented by fun facts from the past and present. The guidebook is available in five languages and can be bought at the information desks in the cathedral or from the city's tourist office. Access to the cathedral is free of charge.
