 house, Gothic (architecture), listed building / architectural heritage, 16th century construction

The house called "The Paradise" (Het Paradijs) dates from the second quarter of the 16th century. Its style is transitional, with Gothic crockets and finials coexisting with Renaissance-influenced tympanum reliefs. Two of those reliefs are Adam and Eve scenes -- one representing the Tree of Good and Evil and the other the Expulsion from Paradise (hence the name of the house).
