The Iconoclasm is a grim chapter in the history of Flanders. Mechelen witnessed the destruction of many churches and monasteries. But the Maneblussers - the inhabitants of Mechelen - with their keen eye for art, more than made things right. The altars, statues and paintings that replaced those destroyed were all masterpieces.
The Master Tour, aptly named “Mechelen Masters and More”, showcases the most beautiful gems of this city on the Dyle. On the tour, you get to see creations of Peter Paul Rubens, among others, alongside the talent that he took under his wing. Care to wager that you will be left speechless by the works of Lucas Faydherbe?
