A (hidden) Art Nouveau gem.
In 1841 the Ursuline nuns started a school for young girls (from rich families) in Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver. Pretty soon after its establishment, the Ursuline Institute gained international fame. Around the turn of the century almost a quarter of the students in this renowned boarding school were of foreign origin.
In 1900 the institute built a beautiful winter garden in Art Nouveau. The architect is (still) unknown. The winter garden served as a reception room for the visitors of the hundreds of girls living in the boarding school. https://visit.mechelen.be/en/wintertuin

Art Nouveau (or Jugendstil) is an art movement that was popular in various places in Europe between 1890 and 1914, mainly as a reaction to form-blurring impressionism. The movement experienced a short but intense flowering period, which mainly expanded during the Belle Epoque. #Architecture #LocalSecrets #Trovember #History

"The check-in and chekout is so easy, the facilities are really nice, simple but modern. The place is well connected with public transportation (5 min Metro and 2 min tram) and a lot of options of restaurants and stores. Also the real palace is close walking (20 min). The kitchen common area is enough with several fridges, sitting area and the table games are a great plus. The room is clean, enough for a short stay, no complains "
