Westmalle is a village in the Belgian province of Antwerp and a sub-municipality of the municipality of Malle. Westmalle is the main town of the merged municipality and houses the municipal services. The village is located in the Antwerp Kempen. Westmalle was an independent municipality until the municipal reorganization of 1977.
Malle is mentioned for the first time in 1194, when Oostmalle gets its own parish, a split from the parish to which Westmalle and Oostmalle belonged. Malle then belonged to the county of Toxandria. The oldest core of habitation in Malle was on low-lying land. When a second center emerged on the higher part of Malle, Malle eventually became Westmalle.
