His remains are rumoured to be buried inside the cathedral. State-of-the-art examination of the relics honoured as Saint Rumbold’s and kept in a shrine in the retro-choir, showed a life span of about 40 years and a death date between 580 and 655, while tradition had claimed 775 AD

Additional Information
Situated in the northern region of Belgium, midway between Brussels and Antwerp, lies the city of Mechelen. A notable feature of the city is the imposing altar and a piece by the Flemish artist, Anthony van Dyck, both housed in the 13th-century St. Rumbold’s Cathedral. Adjacent to the cathedral, the St. Rumbold’s Tower provides unmatched panoramic views of the city. The Kazerne Dossin military barracks, a former WWII detention facility for concentration camp victims, now hosts a museum and a memorial, honouring the Jewish and Gypsy victims that were once confined there.
