You might think this house came from a 17th century Old Dutch painting! It is not so.
It was built in 1910, at the height of Art Nouveau! It was Belgian painter Charles Viane, fascinated by Flemish Renaissance who had it built by using construction materials recovered from houses being demolished in the Ghent region.
The 1583 vintage is therefore quite misleading.
Isn't it atypical?
