Antwerp - Sint-Carolus Borromeuskerk

Two Jesuit priests named d'Aguillon and Huyssens were the architects of Sint-Carolus Borromeuskerk, built between 1614 and 1621 on Hendrik Conscienceplein, a couple of minutes walk northeast of the cathedral. A devastating fire in 1718 largely destroyed the church, after which it was rebuilt in a less opulent style. Among the decorations lost forever were ceiling paintings, 39 in all, by artists from Rubens' workshop and also by van Dyck.
