Guided Tours

Jozef Schellekens & Carli Vanhout Open House

Every third Wednesday of the month, the Architectural Conservation Trust opens its doors.
At 2:00 PM, the tour begins at the Jozef Schellekens House – an icon of Belgian modernism. Afterwards, we continue to Parklaan 146, the Carli Vanhout House, where the legacy of modernist craftsmanship lives on.

In the span of about two hours, curator Jan Vanhout guides you through the stories, anecdotes, and hidden details that bring several generations of architecture to life.
The tour can be conducted in Dutch or English.
