The Brussels Gate is an impressive, massive building from the 13th century and is located in the middle of the ring road of Mechelen. The old city gate is the highest of twelve gates that were built as a city wall. Originally, the gate was called the 'Overste Poort'. During that period, another gate, the 'Brusselse Poort', was also built. When the old Brussels Gate was demolished and the Nieuwe Steenweg to Brussels reached Mechelen, it was decided to rename it the 'Overste Poort'.
