For more than 500 years, St Rumbold’s Tower has been the dominant feature of Mechelen city centre. The Gothic building consists of an ornate hall and a high turret known as the Saint Rumbold’s Tower. The interior of the church is decorated with stained glass and colorful paintings and sculptures while the tower, with its 49 bells, was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The view from the tower's skywalk, which reaches till the Atomium in the city of Brussel on a clear day is definitely worth the arduous climb up of 538 steps.
