However, some explanation: In the 19th century there was an old-fashioned terraced house.
There Adolf Daens saw the light of day on December 18, 1839. Father Daens was a shale roofer and mother Anna Boon a hat maker, who ran her shop here.
If you look closely at the facade plate, you will notice the misconception: the plate refers to the birth of Adolf in 1839 in a house that was only built in 1888.
So it is not the birthplace, but the birthplace of priest Daens.
