Rubens in Stone
NEW FROM AUTUMN 2025
A masterful Baroque walk in Mechelen.
Rubens in Stone takes you on an inspiring journey through the Baroque universe of Mechelen's Lucas Faydherbe (1617 - 1697), and Peter Paul Rubens, his mentor. Walk with us through Mechelen's historic city centre and explore the three churches that provided the master with much of his work: Saint Rumbold's Cathedral, the Church of Our Lady across the Dijle and the Basilica of Our Lady of Hanswijk.
Chat with the master himself on WhatsApp and discover his special connection - or friendly rivalry - with his mentor, Rubens. Become a true Baroque hunter and search the masterpieces in his impressive body of work. With a touch of humour, Lucas guides you through his greatest achievements. Inside the churches, come even closer to the Baroque master through immersive visual and audio experiences. You follow an established route between the three churches. Lucas Faydherbe points the way.
