In the Swaen
When Joseph married in 1818, Corneel Scheppers left the house and the brewery in the Saint- Catherinestreet to the young family. Together with his youngest son he moved into a house near the market place. Until his death in 1841 the house “In the Swaen” became the sally port for all his activities, such as in the town hall of Mechelen or in the provincial government of Antwerp.
