Anyone who has ever driven through Zoutleeuw has certainly passed this Renaissance house at the narrow constriction where you leave the historic center of the tiny town. It is known as Burgerhuis Hellespiegel or Spiegelhuis and dates from the sixteenth century. Quote: "Previously dated 157(1?), (wall anchors in gable end). Remarkable Renaissance building made of brick and sandstone. Volute facade with two floors with cross windows; crowning enriched with ionic pilasters on classically tinted pedestals, profiled girdle mouldings, beautiful volutes enlivened with animal and foliage motifs (mutilated heads)."
