Antwerp’s Het Zuid neighborhood was first built in 1875 but went into decline after the Second World War. Recently revived in the mid-1980s, Het Zuid is now one of the city’s trendiest districts. Visitors can find a wide array of things to do, from checking out one of the many art galleries to dining at chic restaurants and exploring the sights.
1. Hollandse Synagogue
Synagogue
The descendants of Jews who came to Antwerp from the Netherlands built the Hollandse Synagogue in the early 19th century. Hollandse was the first synagogue to be built in Antwerp and is truly beautiful both inside and out. Constructed in the Moorish revival style, the synagogue was named as a protected monument in 1976. Hollandse features a large stained-glass window in its façade and a mosaic painted ceiling, along with ornate stained-glass chandeliers to boot.
