The cathedral can be seen from miles! It is truly an amazing tall building dominating Mechelen’s skyline. At one end of the main square, the church rises above the splendid architecture of both private and public buildings, including the city hall and others. The interior is equally impressive with a number of chapels decorated with wonderful paintings and sculptures. Mechelen is not as visited as other Belgian cities, but it is truly one of the most beautiful towns in Europe but without the hordes of travelers and visitors. When we visited St. Rumbold, there was a haunting exhibition of the stations of the cross juxtaposed with pictures of WWI. Truly moving. When in Mechelen, I highly recommend a visit to the cathedral and if you have time, go up the tower and enjoy the views.

De Sint-Martinuskerk is de hoofdparochiekerk van de stad Aalst en een stijlvoorbeeld van de Brabantse gotiek. Talrijke kunstvoorwerpen sieren de kerk, denk maar aan de schilderkunst van Pieter Paul Rubens of de beeldhouwkunst van Jeroen Duquesnoy. De kerk is gratis toegankelijk van maandag tot zondag van 09 tot 17 uur (op vrijdag tot 14 uur). Een rondleiding met gids in de kerk kan je boeken via Visit Aalst. Nog tot 2027 ondergaat de Sint-Martinuskerk een grootschalige restauratiecampagne. Hierdoor zullen sommige delen van de kerk soms niet toegankelijk zijn, bekijk de website voor de meest up-to-date informatie.

This typical example of high Gothic architecture was originally designed to be a full-fledged cathedral, but never made it much beyond the transept. That's why, at the western end of the building, the brick wall contrasts heavily with the traditional sandstone of all other parts. Many interesting sculptures and paintings to visit, of which the P. P. Rubens "St. Rochus and the Plague patients" is the top.
