About the Area
HISTORY : The Roman empire built our street and it was the first street between Mechelen and Maastricht in the Netherlands to the East. To the West, this was the road to Ghent. It crosses the heirbaan between Antwerp in the North and Paris in the South. So rest assured that our street has a huge history and several historical buildings are still quiet witnesses hereof.
On the opposite side of the street is a huge property that served as the German command center during the second world war.
RELIGION : Since 1559 Mechelen houses the seat of the archbishop from Belgium and so there are dozens of churches in the vicinity from all walks of divine life. The property is next to the 2nd biggest church of Mechelen and this church houses a real Rubens painting beside other works of art. It is open daily except Wednesday.
SHOPPING : Mechelen has 2 parallel shopping streets : Hoogstraat+Ijzenleen to the West and Bruul to the East. Bruul is the second most expensive property on the game Monopoly and has been completely redesigned in 2018.
NIGHTLIFE : 3 areas : Vismarkt for a trendy crowd, Grote Markt for mix and 2 student bars close to the train station Mechelen.
