Must visit

Museum Hof van Busleyen

In the Museum Hof van Busleyen you enter a grand and beautiful Renaissance city palace. At the time, Mechelen was the capital of the Burgundian Netherlands. You can follow in the footsteps of Hieronymus van Busleyden, Margareta Van Austria, Erasmus and Thomas More.

The world opened up in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. You feel the sensation of a new era, especially the renaissance, in which people are central.

These are times when everything seems to be changing. Today, this house is once again a place of encounter and conversation, a breeding ground for ideas and a gathering place for art.

In the Hof van Busleyden you will discover how Burgundians looked at the city, how they dealt with power and what mastery and craftsmanship meant to them. You move from lively and busy places to more private and quiet places. You will go in search of the real Margareta and come face to face with the intriguing and vulnerable Enclosed Gardens.

In this museum, we look back on the glorious history of the city and look to the future at the same time.

Hof van Busleyden is open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Monday and

Tuesdays are the closing days. The museum is always open until 10 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month.
