Town Halls and Public Buildings to visit Belgium

The former Mouscron swimming pool was inaugurated in 1948, after a period of construction interrupted by the Second World War. At the time, it reflected a political will to develop the health and hygiene of a large working class population. The Mouscronnois Dolphin Swim Club then took over the area, with an apprenticeship carried out at the time using belts suspended from cables to keep the students flush with the water. Externally, the building has modern architectural features, with a double gallery of cabins surrounding the basin inside, typical of buildings of this style built in the first half of the 20th century. Disused since 1989, it now hosts communal workshops, a radio station and courses of the Academy of Fine Arts. The large basin hosts temporary exhibitions by local artists.

It dates back to 1738 and its style combines classicism and rococo. The interior houses furniture of the th century. It is in this building that the tourist office is located.
