| The Gothic Aldermen’s Hall is one of Flanders’ oldest town halls. The aldermen would often meet in open air before this building was erected. A larger wing was added onto the thirteenth-century building in Schoenmarkt in 1375. It was here that Charles the Bold founded the Parliament of Mechelen in 1473. As a result, Mechelen became the legal centre of the Burgundian Netherlands. The Grand Council, the successor to the Mechelen Parliament, was located here between 1504 and 1616. Afterwards the gunners’ guild of the “colveniers” held its guild meetings in the hall. It was subsequently used as a theatre, a fencing school, a prison, an archaeological museum and a municipal archive. Since 2018 the building is home to the tourist information office of Visit Mechelen. | |
