Le Grand Veneur, Art Deco hotel-restaurant in Keerbergen, Belgium

Le Grand Veneur stands as a white Art Deco building with geometric shapes and decorative motifs integrated into its architectural design against the Flemish landscape.

During World War II, the building served as headquarters for Operation Antwerp X, coordinating defense against German V1 bombs targeting the Antwerp port from 1944.

The establishment earned recognition through its large advertising mural depicting a huntsman figure, representing the connection between local traditions and modern hospitality services.

The structure transformed from a hotel-restaurant with tennis courts into luxury apartments, maintaining its original 1936 architectural exterior features.

Queen Elisabeth signed the guestbook in March 1945, while the King of Rwanda received special accommodation with a dedicated hut built in the property gardens.
