Mechelen is a city in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. It lies between Antwerp and Brussels, about 25km from each city.
It grew in importance in the 15th century, when the Low Countries came under the rule of the Dukes of Burgundy, marking the beginning of a prosperous period. In 1473, Charles the Bold moved several political bodies to the city, and Mechelen served as the seat of the Superior Court until the French Revolution.
