Traveler reviews
Dorotea Rossi
★★★★★6 months agoGreat tour, the guide gave us some information on the Cauchie's background and style, as well as on the sgraffito technique. The guided tour also allows you to see the room inside where they received clients, which includes another sgraffito. Glad that the tours are sustaining the restoration works!

★★★★★a year agoEvery time I walk by this house. It has attracted my attention and made me stop and stand across the street to admire this piece of art. It is like an advertising poster with Mr. Paul Cauchie's unique sgraffito on the front façade. I am very glad that finally got a chance to visit inside la maison Cauchie by booking a guided tour. A very pleasant and informative lady who also told us the interesting story behind this house. Not to miss!
