Mechelen Cathedral Denied €4.5M Flemish Restoration Subsidy

The Flemish government allocated €24 million to five 'heritage pearls' but excluded Sint-Rombout Cathedral in Mechelen, which sought €4.5 million for interior restoration. The Province of Antwerp, which submitted the dossier, criticizes the decision, noting heritage value counts only 15% in the selection criteria. This is a routine funding allocation decision with no immediate market or geopolitical impact.
