Historic Cellebroeders Monastery for sale in Mechelen

Description

This exceptional building, also known as 'the Paradys' or 'the Hofschuer', is a beautifully preserved relic of the former Celle Brothers Monastery in Mechelen. It offers a unique opportunity to live and work at a historic location in the heart of the Great Begijnhof. Historic Highlights -Origin: The residential wing was built before 1573. The date '1573' is still visible on a fireplace in one of the rooms. -Beguinage history: In 1614, the complex was handed over to the Begijnhof, after which the rooms were rented out to the beguines until 1767. -Authenticity: Because the building was used as a warehouse for a long time, it escaped modern fashion whims. As a result, the 16th and 17th century interiors have been preserved unharmed. -Restoration: In 1997, the building was carefully restored by architect L. Vermeersch (Bruges) into a stylish home with office space. -Details: During the restoration, historic window openings were reopened and great care was taken to preserve the highly valuable interior elements from different periods. The sale will take the form of shares. Register of measures: no
