Het Predikheren, Cultural center and library in Mechelen, Belgium.
Het Predikheren is a restored building in Mechelen that combines Flemish Baroque design with modern elements at Goswin de Stassartstraat 88. It houses a library with reading areas, learning spaces, and rooms for community activities.
The building originates from a former monastery and underwent major renovation in recent years to become what it is today. This renewal preserved its historical structure while transforming it for contemporary public use.
The center serves as a meeting point where locals share knowledge and spend time with books and learning activities together. It represents the shift from religious use to a modern hub for community education and gathering.
The facility is open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours until 19:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Plan your visit for a day when you have time to spend browsing or learning without feeling rushed.
The building separates its functions into a public area and a separate storage facility with different access times for specialized collections. This arrangement allows extensive holdings to be preserved while keeping popular materials available daily.
