The Sint-Jacobstoren is a remnant of the world exhibition Old Antwerp of 1894 and was founded here back in 1898. The pagadder tower, pointed arch and the small round tower let you dream away to a fairytale world. The lion on the arch bears a coat of arms with the year of the re-establishment - 1898.
Also notice the wrought iron bust in the pagadder tower in honor of Wannes Van de Velde = Antwerp folk singer.
