The Key of the Holy House: A Romance of Old Antwerp is a historical novel written by Albert Lee and first published in 1898. The story is set in Antwerp, Belgium during the 16th century, a time of great religious conflict between the Catholic Church and Protestantism.The protagonist of the story is a young man named Jan, who is a member of a secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Holy House. The Brotherhood is dedicated to protecting the Holy House, a sacred relic that is said to contain the key to the gates of heaven. However, the Brotherhood is also involved in a plot to overthrow the ruling Spanish authorities, who are seen as oppressive and corrupt.Jan becomes embroiled in this plot when he falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Marie, who is also a member of the Brotherhood. Together, they work to uncover a conspiracy to steal the Holy House and use it for their own purposes. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a cunning thief, a ruthless Spanish captain, and a wise old monk.The Key of the Holy House is a fast-paced adventure story that also explores deeper themes of faith, loyalty, and the struggle for freedom. It is a vivid portrait of a tumultuous period in European history, and a testament to the enduring power of love and courage in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
