Description

"Huis van Oombergen" is a historic rococo mansion in #Gent (Oost-Vlaanderen), Belgium. Built in Louis XV style on the site of the medieval Romanesque Dammansteen, it replaced earlier structures. In the 16th century, it belonged to Jan Damman, Lord of Oombergen; in 1746, architect David 't Kindt bought it and designed the current building. It later housed various noble families.
