Principal Items Tour
Nederlands Français Deutsch English Español








A tour leading to three monumental churches

 

The Principal Items Decree of the Flemish Community considers the protection of the cultural heritage of exceptional importance. For these Principal Items apply special protective measures, conservation and restoration subsidies for a maximum of 80% of the costs, export regulations and a purchase commitment from the Flemish administration in case of a refused export license. To the present day 74 works of art and collections of the 17th century have been registered.

 

The Non-Profit Organisation Monumental Churches of Antwerp - in collaboration with Pastoral Tourist Service of Antwerp, the Cultural Heritage Cell of Antwerp, and the Service of Cultural Heritage of the Province of Antwerp - organises a 2h30 walk in three monumental churches with no less than 22 Baroque works of art that are registered in the list of the Principal Items Decree. It spotlights masterpieces of the "great Antwerp Three" - Rubens, Jordaens and Van Dyck - completed by beautiful works of regional artists such as Hendrik van Balen and Cornelis de Vos.

 

Qualified guides from TOPA provide interesting information and interpretation during the tour beginning with the Cathedral of Our Lady, St. Paul's church and ending at the grave of Rubens in St. James's church.
