Hof van Savoye, Renaissance palace in Mechelen, Belgium.
The Hof van Savoye features Renaissance architecture with ornate facades, heraldic symbols, and an interior courtyard designed by architects Rombout II and Antoon I Keldermans.
Between 1507 and 1530, Margaret of Austria governed the Habsburg Netherlands from this palace, which later housed the Great Council from 1616 to 1796.
The palace acted as a center for Renaissance and humanist thought in the Netherlands, influencing the intellectual development of the region during the 16th century.
Located at Keizerstraat 3 in Mechelen, the palace currently functions as the municipal theater and requires advance arrangements for guided tours.
The facade displays the coat of arms of Margaret of Austria alongside those of Charles V and includes a statue of Justice, representing its judicial heritage.
