Maasmechelen

Maasmechelen is a municipality located on the Meuse in the Belgian province of Limburg.

It comprises the former municipalities of Mechelen-aan-de-Maas, Vucht, Leut, Meeswijk, Uikhoven, Eisden, Opgrimbie, Boorsem, and Kotem.

As a result of both Maasmechelen's location near the border and its coalmining history quite a few of its current inhabitants are of Dutch, German, Polish or Mediterranean origin.
