The Maison du Cygne is a mansion in the Grand'Place of Brussels, Belgium.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In May 1519, members of the local chapter of the Assassins visited the Maison du Cygne as part of their search for the clues to the havens Leonardo da Vinci hid in the city.[2] Thanks to a monk at the church of Notre-dame du Sablon, who had given them a hint in the form of a stained glass swan,[3] the Assassins at the Grand'Place knew to search for a building with a swan adorning its façade.[4] At the mansion, they met da Vinci's ally, the theologian Desiderius Erasmus.[5] Erasmus congratulated the Assassins on locating him, but required them to tell him the secret related to the The Garden of Earthly Delights painting to prove that Leonardo had been correct in placing his trust on them.[6] Puzzling out the solution based on the information they had collected,[7] they told Erasmus the answer to Leonardo's riddle. Nodding in agreement with the explanation, he disappeared into the building and quickly returned, handing them the translucid sheet with a line Leonardo had given him for safe keeping.[8]
