Captured is the St. Charles Borromeo Church located at the Hendrik Conscience square in downtown Antwerp, Belgium.
The church, with its baroque front, was built between 1615 and 1621. In 1718 it was struck by lightning causing fire. By this fire were ceiling paintings, painted by Peter Paul Rubens, lost. The church underwent restoration in the 80's of the 20th century.

All those beautiful old buildings bear witness to the rich past of the low countries (the Netherlands and Flanders), whose histories are inextricably linked.Very well done,Cornelius.
