During the interwar period, the Pulhof district gets its finest buildings. Sometimes modern in New Objectivity, Art Deco and Cottage. The district exudes a bourgeois traditionalism with a French accent. As early as 1913, street names referring to the Belgian Royal House were chosen. This trend continued in the 1950s.

We gather at Our Lady Mediatrix and Saint Louis parish. After this, we make our way to E. Van Steenbergen's own home. A gem in Art-deco style with a facade construction with volume shifting and combinations of masonry dressings referring to Dudok, Van 't Hoff and F.L. Wright. 

The next stopping point is the cemetery where the urban character comes into its own. Its civic look and ornate grave monuments attract many visitors.

Finally, we were invited by Filips and Ingrid De Ferm to view their private collection at Fibac. Fibac - Filips Ingrid Belgian Art Center - is a home for Belgian abstract artists. Full of passion and with a heart for art, he shows us around and introduces us to various artists such as Paul van Hoeydonck, Walter Leblanc, Karel Maes, Camiel Van Breeda, etc. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Filips De Ferm and his wife for their hospitality. It really was an added value to end this royal walk in an artistic way.
