263 Woluwe-Saint-Pierre Town Hall
[Neighbourhoods] [New heritage]
Between 1961 and 1965, architect Guillaume Vermeiren oversaw the construction of the new Woluwe-Saint-Pierre town hall to plans by Joseph-Paul Nicaise. The building, whose style is freely inspired by a new Flemish neo-Renaissance, is dominated by an imposing belfry tower designed to be visible from the municipality’s main axes. The site preserves an important art collection, including a significant group of works illustrating the careers of two leading artists: painters Émile Fabry (1865-1966) and Albert Ciamberlani (1864-1956), both very active during the Belle Époque within Art Nouveau and Symbolism. Friends and collaborators, they often worked together on major decorative ensembles in the capital, such as the Cinquantenaire Arcades and the Palace of Tervuren. In its time, the construction of the town hall completely transformed an entire district, giving it a new and significant function as the seat of municipal power and a meeting place for residents.
In collaboration with the municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre and Brussels Chatterguides.
