Maison Cauchie

The Maison Cauchie is located on rue des Francs in Etterbeek. It was the personal home of the artist couple Paul Cauchie (1875-1952) and Lina Cauchie, born Caroline Voet (1875-1969), and is one of the most remarkable Art Nouveau jewels in Brussels.    

EXPO In 1905, Paul and Lina Cauchie designed and built this house to reside in while showcasing their work and skills. Abandoned in the seventies and eventually bought by a couple with a passion for art in 1980. They dedicated all their energy to revive this house once again and to share this incredible story with the public. The former artists’ studio is now an exhibition space where original works and documents from both artists are on display. 

GUIDED TOUR A pearl of Brussels Art Nouveau, Maison Cauchie was designed in 1905 as a true manifesto of the knowledge of Paul and Lina Cauchie, artist-designers. The guides open the doors to share the history and work of the original owners and to let you discover the technique that made them famous: sgraffito.
