Carolus Borromeuskerk, Baroque church in Antwerp, Belgium
The Saint Charles Borromeo Church features a two-story design with a dynamic stone facade decorated with sculptures of evangelists and saints in Italian style.
Built between 1615 and 1621 by Jesuits during the Counter-Reformation period, the church received contributions from Peter Paul Rubens in both design and paintings.
The church houses the Community of Sant'Egidio and presents weekly Artist Masses where musicians perform live during Sunday services at 11:30.
Located at Hendrik Conscienceplein, the church opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 17:00, with adult entry fees of 5 euros.
The high altar contains a mechanical system that changes paintings three times per year: Ash Wednesday, Easter Monday, and August.
