St. Rumbold's Cathedral is a breathtaking Roman Catholic metropolitan archiepiscopal cathedral in Mechelen, Belgium, dedicated to Saint Rumbold. The cathedral's interior is equally impressive, with paintings by Michel Coxcie, Gaspard de Crayer, and a profoundly moving Christ on the Cross by Anthony van Dyck. The high altar, created by Lucas Faydherbe in 1665, is a real showpiece. The cathedral has a long history, dating back to the 13th century, and has withstood various storms, including wars and fires. The tower of the cathedral is a notable feature, although it is not wheelchair accessible. The cathedral is partially accessible for people with disabilities and offers facilities for the visually impaired. Visitors can admire the wooden model of the church and tower, and a miniature bronze version of the tower outside the cathedral
