CITY HALL

Located in the center of town, it was built in 1895 in the same style as the Pabst Mansion (Flemish Renaissance). Its four-sided clock has been telling residents the time for over a century. A visit to the Town Hall is recommended, to admire the 8-storey atrium at the heart of the building. The big bell, weighing almost 10 tonnes, rings three times a day, at 8am, midday and 5pm. You can climb to the very top, and also benefit from a free guide, by calling to book your visit several days in advance.
