From the Antwerp World / Places

Zurenborg

Zurenborg is a residential district for a self-guided architecture walk, especially along Cogels-Osylei and Waterloostraat. Art Nouveau houses sit beside several revival styles, rewarding slow attention to individual façades.

Zurenborg

Why go

The pleasure here is in comparing neighboring houses rather than reaching one monument. Look at their shapes, materials and names: some façades use flowers or historical figures, while groups of houses develop a shared theme across a street or intersection.

What to look for

  • Cogels-Osylei concentrates ornate late nineteenth-century townhouses.
  • Waterloostraat includes themed façades, including houses devoted to the seasons.
  • Art Nouveau curves appear alongside Gothic and Renaissance revival details.

Useful to know

  • Walk Cogels-Osylei first, then use Waterloostraat and Transvaalstraat for closer comparisons.
  • The interest is on public streets; leave time to pause without treating private houses as open attractions.
