Description

"De Spieghel" in #Antwerpen was rebuilt in neo-gothic style (1903-1904) by architects Frans Van Dijk and Michel De Braey for Eugène Kreglinger. The new office building replaced a late gothic structure dating to around 1500. Originally a noble residence mentioned from the 14th century, it passed through various owners, including wealthy merchants and the Kreglinger family. The reconstructed façade, based on remaining elements, features rich sculptural and architectural detail, including pointed arch windows, sculpted stonework, and family and guild emblems.
