The High Baroque sense of vitality is displayed in the luxuriant decoration of the façade. Both the sculptural treatment of the architectural components and the rich decorative ornament determine its appearance. A remarkable feature of the façade is that it consists not of the usual type of screen façade flanked by volutes, but of three separate bays each of which corresponds to one of the three aisles of the church, which is built like a hall church. This church well represents the later phase of Baroque architecture in Brussels. The photo shows the façade of the Begijnhofkerk. ## Related artworks - [Belfry]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
