EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the impressive Rombout Keldermans House in the historic city of Mechelen, Belgium. Dating back to the 16th century, this architectural masterpiece was designed by Rombout Keldermans (1460-1531), a renowned city architect of Mechelen and court architect to Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor. The house, a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Belgium during the Middle Ages, boasts a large, imposing facade adorned with intricately designed stepped gables. The bricks used in its construction add to its grandeur, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that were hallmarks of the era. The image captures the house's striking gabled frontage, with its steeply pitched roofs and ornate brickwork, creating a sense of elegance and sophistication. The steps leading up to the entrance add a touch of grandeur, inviting visitors to explore the secrets hidden within the walls of this magnificent mansion. Rombout Keldermans was a master of his craft, and the house he built for himself in Mechelen is a testament to his vision and skill. The photograph, taken over a century ago, provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this architectural marvel that continues to stand proudly in the heart of the city.
