Built between 1937 and 1939 to the design of architect Joseph Diongre, who also designed the famous Belgian Radio & Television Broadcasting Centre at Place Flagey in Ixelles, this austere building combines blue stone and Boom yellow bricks to create a Town Hall which remains a significant example of inter-war architecture by its layout and articulation of volumes. Laid out in the form of a letter  L , the right-hand wing is taller, while the left-hand wing has a 30m-high bell-tower located not far from the rounded curve that links the two wings. Inside, the large hall which opens onto the enquiry offices is lit by a brick-and-concrete dome whose design is mirrored on the floor by a compass rose.
