St. Rumbold’s Cathedral and Tower

Belgium

St. Rumbold’s Cathedral (Dutch: Sint-Romboutskathedraal) is the Belgian metropolitan archiepiscopalcathedral in Mechelen, dedicated to Saint Rumbold, Christian missionary and martyr who had founded an abbey nearby. His remains are rumoured to be buried inside the cathedral.

Standing tall in the Grote Market, but visible throughout the entire city, the St-Romboutskathedraal stands just shy of 100 metres tall. Summiting the tower involves climbing 500 steps and can take over half an hour even for those with good fitness levels.
