The house

The house was built in 1878 when Keizerstraat was the street of the Mayors of Antwerp. Keizerstraat has several historic buildings which you pass when you take the 8 minute walk to Antwerp's city square, the "Grote Markt".

Today, the house newly refurbished with a designer interior and sections are a standing gallery for the photographic art works of Bart Michielsen.

A very comfortable place to relax between visiting the interesting places and activities in Antwerp.
