Groote Engel offers possibilities for event or mid-long term rental, such as an exhibition or pop-up shop
Groote Engel is the largest part of the two-homes-under-1-roof that dates back to way before 1777, when the wooden facade was converted to stone.
After the purchase in 2018, a necessary and thorough restoration started in 2020 of the ground floor and the first floor, and in 2021-2022 of the higher attic floors.
In addition to restoring a historic building in Mechelen, our aim was to create a new place in the city, without a fixed destination, but with the intention of contributing creatively to the life and appearance of the city.
