Architectural Treasures of Antwerp

Antwerp’s skyline is defined by centuries of architectural evolution, from the 123-meter Gothic spire of the Cathedral of Our Lady to the eclectic, domed grandeur of the Central Railway Station. This collection highlights Renaissance masterpieces like the City Hall and the UNESCO-listed Plantin-Moretus Museum alongside medieval fortifications like Het Steen. Beyond the historic center, the list explores 19th-century castles, industrial maritime radar towers, and the isolated Gothic tower of Wilmarsdonk, the sole remnant of a village lost to port expansion.
