Het Mattenkot

Vilvoorde

This building, which is soon to be restored, is a part of a former dominican convent.
At the end of the 19th century, after the french revolution, it became the location of an important carpet factory.
People called it “het mattenkot” - “the mat shed”
and it is still known as that today.

A fine shot of this ancient building. Regi. It's certainly had an interesting history!

Prachtig, zo'n parel om ontdekt te worden

Ancient building has rather unusual proportions and layout of windows. Although significant historically, a fact that you have helpfully pointed out in your commentary, it is the compositional technique which emphasizes the two disparate, vertically aligned windows that makes the image significant. v

Interesting with the light and detail. Well done.

Beautiful! The deep blue sky really makes this old structure "pop"!
