Antwerp's Top 10 Architecture

Here are Antwerp's Top 10 Architecture Gems:
top-10-architecture


Nr. 1: The Quinten-Matsijs Cogels Osy lei 80
(Gentlemen’s house, Art Nouveau, Architect Jacques De Weerdt, build in 1904)

Check the beautiful forms in the windows and the wrought iron that crowns the round gable. Above the gable there is a half-relief with portrait of the famous 16th century artist Quinten Matsys.

The top-floor loggia is unique. Only 5 have been ever built of which only three still exist.

It was for sale only a few months ago, but unfortunately a bit out of our budget.



Scaldis Nr. 2: Scaldis: Cogels Osy lei 67-69
(gentlemen’s house, Neo-Gothic, Architect Frans Van Dijk., build in 1904)

A magnificent building in Moorish Gotic style. It might remind you of the Ca’ d’Oro - the golden house on the canal Grande - in Venice.

Nr. 3: The Sunflower

Nr. 4 & 5 : The Four Seasons & Battle of Waterloo

Nr. 6: The three houses on Transvaalstraat: The 12 Apostles, The Devils and The Greek temple

Nr. 7: The Carolus Magnus

Nr. 8: The Sun, The Stars and The Moon

Nr. 9: 't bootje

Nr. 9: Antwerp's Central Station
