Rupelmonde is a village in the municipality of Kruibeke, in the Belgian province of East Flanders. It is located on the banks of the river Schelde opposite the confluence with the eponymous Rupel, and is known for its sundials as well as having what is probably Belgium's only tidemill. It is the birthplace of Gerardus Mercator, (1512–1594) the Flemish cartographer, who was imprisoned for several months in the castle there, a remnant of which today serves as a museum.
