Want to discover Deurne's rich architectural history? Then sign up for our fascinating walk north of the Rivierenhof! During this tour, you will be taken on a journey through the many modern architectural styles that emerged between the two world wars. 

The architects of the time find their way among the many trends. Pre-war eclectic elegance still shimmers here and there. Art deco with its many interpretations flourishes. From the Netherlands, you see inspiration from brick architecture on the one hand and Dudok's modernism on the other. Le Corbusier-inspired functionalist architecture gets a place but is also reinterpreted.

Gaston Eysselinck, Rik Jacops, Eduard Van Steenbergen, John Van Zeeland and many others make this interwar architecture truly valuable. How one deals with these valuable properties in times of sustainable and environmentally friendly building is commented on....
