from bathhouses to Beguines

Discover a lesser-known piece of Mechelen history during this fascinating themed walk with guide Gustave Min. We depart from the former Lamot brewery and head via the Haverwerf to the Beguinage, along places that colored the daily life of the Mechelen residents for centuries. In the shadow of the Stoofstraat, we dive back into the Middle Ages, when the famous bathhouses or 'bladstoven' were located here. Along the way, Gustave reveals numerous stories, anecdotes, and hidden facts about residents, Beguines, craftsmen, and life behind the facades of the city. A walk full of history, surprising stories, and charming spots that show Mechelen from a completely different angle. Welcome to a journey of discovery.
