Why go

Erasmus gained fame as a defender of tolerance and free will, and is known for his work "De Lof der Zotheid", a center piece of Dutch language literature. The house was constructed in 1468 for a Brussels banker, making it one of the oldest Gothic houses in Brussels. It was inhabited by Pieter Wijchmans in 1515 who also expanded it.
