Saint Paul’s is open

Our church is open: from 2 May 2026 to 31 October 2026, the church is open daily from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. From 1 November 2026 through 28 February 2027, the church is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays—as well as during (Flemish) school holidays—from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. We are closed on 1 January.

The church is currently undergoing extensive restoration. As a result, certain sections—specifically the nave, the organ and the side aisles—are closed to the public. Consequently, the *15 Mysteries* and other works by Rubens, among others, cannot be viewed at this time. Nevertheless, we have endeavored to offer you, our visitor, a fascinating experience at St. Paul’s Church by opening up areas that usually remain closed, such as the crypt, the archaeological site, and ‘t Schooltje (“the Little School”), which offers a magnificent view of the old and immense Dominican monastery.

Practical:

The entrance is via the gate at the corner of Veemarkt and Zwartzustersstraat. We are wheelchair accessible. Rates remain unchanged: €5 standard – €3 for groups of 15 or more paying visitors and students (upon presentation of a student ID) – free for holders of a Museum Pass, ICOM card, A-kaart, or Antwerp City Pass, and for companions of wheelchair users.
