The House of Rubens - Rubenshuis
Peter Paul Rubens lived in the house from 1616 to his death in 1640. While the house has been rebuilt in the 17th century style to erase previous modifications, it's not exactly the way Rubens would remember it. But the gardens are spectacular, and the collection of paintings shouldn't be missed.
