The St. Charles Borromeo Church is an extraordinary gem of cultural heritage. It was built in 1626 and is famous for its art works and concerts. Peter Paul Rubens (1577 – 1640) played an important role as a painter, decorator and architect.
His influence is visible in the tower, façade, high altar and the vault stucco in Our Lady’s Chapel (also called Houtappel Chapel). This is the Baroque Church of the Low Countries and the Church of Rubens, even though in 1718 a fire destroyed the 39 ceiling paintings by his hand.
