Huis De Pelikaan
A pearl of Baroque architecture hidden in the beautiful city of Ghent.
A pearl of Baroque architecture hidden in the beautiful city of Ghent.
De Pelikaan has known many forms: from two separate Renaissance houses, to a Baroque abode for the family Bellemans. For a short time it was home to a Carmelite nunnery, until the French army took the city. And in the twentieth century it saw the addition of three extra bays in Art-Déco style.
For several years De Pelicaen has been undergoing restoration, and we're eager to show all the work that's being done. You can follow @depelicaen on Instagram for weekly updates.
Check back some day :-)
