Description
The neo-Flemish town hall was designed by architect Lepercq. The building features stepped gables, a circular pediment, bell towers and the use of brick and stone. The hall previously housed a model of a castle built in the 16th century to protect the town and surrounding countryside, which was destroyed after the French Revolution. Since 2000, a carillon on the facade has been chiming the hourly notes of Guy Béart's "l'eau vive", a reference to the Deûle valley.
