What's on?

What a hive of activity! Day after day, 1,250 sheets rolled off the presses, while more than 50 workers kept everything running. You can almost see it happening, because the 16th-century printing house has remained almost completely intact. Did you know that the two oldest wooden printing presses in the world are housed here?

An oasis of calm in the heart of Antwerp. It was once very different here. Kings, princes, and other prominent figures arrived at this spot by horse and carriage. Feel like nobility for a moment? Or simply escape the hustle and bustle of the city? Take a seat on a bench or stroll among the colorful plants.

Gold and Rubens on the walls, with valuable furniture and objects in every corner of the room. Each generation of the wealthy entrepreneurial family added its own personality and a touch of grandeur. The moment you step into the residence, you feel it: centuries-old luxury with timeless class. 

Respect for historic heritage, a love of books, and nearly five centuries of collecting passion brought together in a single space. Even those who don’t enjoy reading can hardly take their eyes off the family library. It remains a source of information for scholars and historians from around the world.
