About this audio guide
This guide to Cogels-Osylei in Antwerp's Zurenborg district starts with the farm that stood here before the houses, and the ground that gave it its name. It follows the couple whose names the street still carries and the architects who filled it around nineteen hundred, then the plans of the nineteen sixties that put it all at risk. Best heard standing outside number fifty, looking up at the facade.
