The Steen Castle is the oldest building in Antwerp.  It is located on the waterfront in a tree-lined square named Steenplein.  The entrance to the Steen Castle is guarded by this statue of Lange Wapper, a Flemish folklore legend.  He was reported to be a mischievous fellow who got his jollies from peeping into people's homes at night.  Guess he was a "Peeping Lange"!
