Hessenhuis, Renaissance exhibition building near MAS Museum, Antwerp, Belgium
The Hessenhuis building stands four stories tall with large windows, metal reinforcements, and architectural elements from the French Renaissance period.
German merchants established the Hessenhuis in 1564 as a commercial center, operating similarly to other Hanseatic houses throughout Antwerp.
The structure now serves as a museum and exhibition space, displaying various artistic collections while maintaining its architectural heritage status since 1936.
The building houses the Hessenhuis Café, which opens from Tuesday to Saturday, offering drinks and light meals throughout the day and evening.
Metal structural reinforcements added during the 19th century integrate with the original Renaissance elements, creating an unusual architectural combination.
