It’s Flemish architecture.

Lil White Wolf :

Loving the series as well! I find the stepped gables to iconic to Flemish architecture. I’m missing the reason behind it, though! Is it just decorative?

Belgie en nederland waren toen 1 land. Dus is het dan Belgies of Nederlandse architectuur.

Don’t forget to mention the colonies where these came from and how the merchants made their fortunes. The Rijksmuseum has added placards next to some portraits of these merchants.
