I think the old building at that location used to be split in 2 (thus the 2 housenumbers). So Kasteelstraat 12 does not exist anymore. I only just now realized I mapped this wrong (was one of my first things I mapped a couple years ago). By your photo, it looks like you could even put a building

A lot of those types of apartment buildings in my area (and i assume other places in Belgium as well) don't have a "building housenumber", only the individual flat housenumbers. Making a node for every single flat just looks bad on the map. And I agree that it just makes more sense to put it on th
