This is the former private house of a banker, where nothing has changed. The house combines art deco with the Amsterdam school, and comes fully furnished with the original furnishings, and loads of artwork. The latter is mainly by the hand of Gustave Van de Woestijne, a leading Belgian expressionist, to whom the owner were the mecenas. For the kids, the garden has a maze.
