The Rubenshuis is the former home of Flemish master painter Peter Paul Rubens. The building is notable for the character of the artistss studio and bedroom, and the boldness of its architecture by 16th century standards. After Rubens death in 1640, ownership passed through numerous hands; it was ultimately saved from oblivion through civic purchase in 1937 and subsequent restoration.
The Rubenshuis welcomes 125,000 visitors every year.
