25. Vandenstock House

We know little about the early history of this stately home other than to to say it must have been built in the early 20th century and that in 1920 a retiree named G. Vandenstock lived there, but it perfectly matches the Eclecticism of the Belle Époque period. A marble-clad entrance hall leads to the unusual staircase which combines Eclectic stained-glass windows, an Art Nouveau mosaic floor, and further stained-glass windows in geometric Art Deco style (the latter probably from a later date). The main floor follows the classical enfilade floor plan with two French-style salons and a Flemish Neo-Renaissance dining room. The well-preserved interior is remarkable in particular due to its Versailles parquet, profiled mouldings, refined stuccoed walls, marble mantelpieces, oak paneling, richly ornamented wooden fireplace and stained-glass windows depicting the four seasons.
