Predikherenklooster Mechelen
Impressive rooms with excellent rest quality
The Predikherenklooster Mechelen, dating from 1650, has an eventful history. In 2010 the city decided to restore the baroque building and use it as a library. The traces of past times were to be consciously preserved, additions and conversions were to remain visible. The new interior and the wall panelling in oak wood also fit so harmoniously into the existing building that old and new can coexist equally.
