The Schepenhuis (Aldermen's House) of Mechelen, Flemish Brabant, Belgium, is a building where the city's aldermen held their meetings in the Middle Ages. It is located on the edge of the Grote Markt (main square), between the latter and the IJzerenleen and is considered the first stone 'town hall' of Flanders.[1][2]
