Jan van den Eynde II

Jan van den Eynde II (1620 – 1702) was a Flemish architect and sculptor. He was a member of the van den Eynde family of artists from Antwerp. Van den Eynde's most famous building is arguably the Averbode Abbey church, a peculiar synthesis of Baroque and Gothic with a touch of Renaissance to it, which was completed between 1664 and 1672. For this project, van den Eynde's plans were chosen over those of the famous architect Lucas Faydherbe from Mechelen. In addition to being an architect, Jan van den Eynde was also a merchant.
