The house of Van’t Sestich is named after the Louvain patrician family of that name. High up in the wall the Roman numeral LX can be seen; a play on the surname.

The facade of Van ‘t Sestichhuis is quite striking and intriguing. The architectural style of the brick patterns show kinship with with the architecture in Bijloke, Ghent and numerous town houses in Bruges. The gable is adorned with hakstenen motives which we can recognize as the Star of David.
