This itinerary is a unique guided walk to (re)discover the Art Nouveau façades and their creators. Townhouses, shops, public buildings, … There are so many sgraffito decorations to admire on our streets. But how is sgraffito made? Where does it come from? And who made those beautiful designs? Learn about the fascinating history of La Belle Epoque and its buildings together with a guide of the Cauchie House.
In Brussels, between 1900 and World War I, hundreds of facades were decorated with sgraffitos. Dozens of architects - including Paul Hamesse, Edouard Frankinet and Paul Hankar - collaborated with various designer-performers. During this walk, our guide will take you on an exciting tour of the area around the Cinquantenaire Park and the Cauchie House (Lina and Paul Cauchie’s remarkable house & workshop).
