The richest street of Antwerp: Cogels Osylei in Berchem. Fantastic lush architecture, lots of Art Nouveau / Art Deco. Built around 1900 for the nouveau riche of Antwerp. Almost torn down at the end of the 1960s, but placing the 170 houses on the monument list provided a narrow escape. Look closely at the roof top and view the next picture in this set.
