Casino of Ghent, 19th-century exhibition building in Ghent, Belgium
The Casino of Ghent featured a grand central hall with columns, expansive windows, and decorative elements in the Neo-Classical architectural style.
Louis Roelandt designed this exhibition venue in 1835, which served as the main location for the Ghent Floralies until 1908.
The building combined exhibition spaces for both horticultural shows and musical performances by the Saint Cecilia Society throughout the nineteenth century.
The Casino stood between Coupure and Casino Square, near the current University of Ghent campus, until its demolition in 1945.
During World War I, the Casino transformed into a military hospital, marking a shift from its original purpose as a cultural center.
