Mouscron, Border municipality in Hainaut Province, Belgium
Located along the French border next to Tourcoing, Mouscron encompasses several districts including Dottignies, Herseaux, and Luingne within the Lille metropolitan area.
The first documented mention of Mouscron dates to 1060, evolving from an agricultural settlement into an industrial center during the textile manufacturing expansion of the 1800s.
The Hurlus Festival in October features lantern processions through the streets of Mouscron, with participants reenacting stories from the municipal history.
The municipality provides administrative services in both French and Dutch languages, reflecting its position between the Walloon and Flemish regions of Belgium.
The neo-Gothic town hall, designed by architect René Aimé Buyck and opened in 1890, stands as the central administrative building of Mouscron.
