The Kanaal Site of an old malting complex along the Albert Canal in Wijnegem near Antwerp Belgium is found to be the ideal setting for new living concepts. The former industrial context, with its cavernous and labyrinthine spaces, proves to be a surprisingly apt situation for apartments and lofts that are all different from each other and commercial space for the firm of Axel Vervoordt, a renowned design and antique dealer. They are situated in the former silo's of 10 storeys high by Seghers and Beel architects. Cube apartments by Bogdan and Van Broeck Architects; the remodelled former warehouses by Coussée and Goris Architects.
St. Charles Borromeo Church (Dutch: Sint-Carolus Borromeuskerk) is a church in central Antwerp, located on the Hendrik Conscience square. It was built in 1626 as the Jesuit church of Antwerp, which was closed in 1773. It was rededicated in 1779 to Saint Charles Borromeo. The church was formerly known for 39 ceiling pieces by Rubens that were lost in a fire when lightning struck the church on 18 July 1718.
The church was inspired by the Church of the Gesu, the mother church of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic religious order also known as the Jesuits. The church was built next to the Huis van Aecken, bought from the heirs of Erasmus II Schetz. It was the first church in the world to be dedicated to the Jesuit founder, Ignatius Loyola.
In 1617-1618 Rubens painted two altarpieces. He was also commissioned to paint the ceiling pieces, for which he made the designs while the execution was done mostly by pupils, including Anthony van Dyck. A contract was drawn up in 1620 by Jacobus Tirinus and the paintings were delivered a year later in time for the consecration. Rubens received 7,000 guilders for his works in the church, and though the lavish decorations including sculptures and other artwork were well received, Tirinus was dismissed in 1625 for going beyond his budget.
In 1718 the vault of the nave, including Rubens' ceiling paintings, was destroyed by fire. Jan Pieter van Baurscheidt the Elder restored the damaged parts according to the original plan, but replaced the original coffers with wide transverse arches. In 1773 the Society of Jesus was suppressed and the building was confiscated. It reopened in 1779, renamed St.-Carolus Borromeuskerk, after Charles Borromeo.
Since 1803 the St.-Carolus Borromeuskerk has been in use as a parish church. During the Dutch reign preceding Belgium's independence in 1830 the baroque interior was sobered to make it a Protestant church.
A restoration campaign in the 1980s brought back the churches baroque splendor. Besides works by Rubens the interior displays paintings by Gerard Seghers, Daniel Seghers, and Cornelis Schut.

n° 2-3 : La Brouette, Maison de la Corporation des Graissiers depuis le xve siècle, construite en pierre en 1644, la façade résiste en partie au bombardement et est reconstruite en 1697 sous la direction de Jean Cosyn. Décorée par la statue de saint Gilles (patron des graissiers), elle est restaurée en 1912, la porte de gauche s'ouvrait sur une ruelle aujourd'hui disparue qui donnait rue au Beurre.
n° 4 : Le Sac, Maison de la Corporation des Ébénistes, dont les outils décorent la façade, depuis le xve siècle,construite en pierre en 1644 en partie épargnée par le bombardement elle est reconstruite par l'architecte ébéniste Antoine Pastorana en 1697. Les sculpteurs en sont : Pierre van Dievoet et Laurent Merkaert. La partie inférieure du Sac, avec l'enseigne sculptée (1644) ne fut pas démolie lors du bombardement et c'est à partir du troisième étage que débute la reconstruction par l'architecte Antoine Pastorana en 1697. C'est donc à partir de cet étage que commencent les sculptures de van Dievoet et Merkaert : un gâble très orné, des torchères et des vases aux angles, au sommet un globe sur lequel est placé un compas et sur le plein cintre des fenêtres, de lourdes guirlandes de fleurs et de fruits et une coquille, la frise du troisième étage est composée de cartouches dont trois rehaussées de têtes d'anges. Il s'agit d'un gâble typiquement bruxellois. Cette maison fut restaurée en 1912 par l'architecte Jean Seghers et les cariatides actuelles sont l’œuvre du sculpteur Edouard Marchant (1852). Actuellement, "La Maison des Maitres Chocolatiers Belges" est installée dans cette maison chargée d'histoire. (Wikipedia)
