Ancienne chambre échevinale de Frasnes-lez-Gosselies

The structure features two round-arched doorways made of sandstone and limestone, with a blue stone cross window from the 17th century above the carriage entrance.

Originally part of a Benedictine priory established in 1099, the building later served as a defensive structure before becoming the entrance to a significant farm.

The building represents the evolution of rural civil architecture from medieval times, displaying the transition from administrative to agricultural purposes.

The monument, restored in 1997 through community funding and royal foundation support, remains open for architectural and historical exploration.

The rear facade contains a sealed pedestrian door topped with a monolithic lintel bearing a coat of arms, marking its administrative significance.
