Town hall of Schaerbeek
Town hall of Schaerbeek, Town hall in Schaerbeek, Belgium.
The town hall of Schaerbeek is a civic building featuring red brick facades, prominent gables, and a central turret rising above the main entrance at Place Colignon. The structure combines Flemish architectural forms with neo-renaissance elements that define the center of the neighborhood.
The building was constructed between 1884 and 1887 as Schaerbeek grew and prospered during Belgium's industrial period. Following a fire in 1911, it was thoroughly restored and updated under architect Maurice Van Ysendyck's direction.
The interior displays oak paneling and marble details that reflect the craftsmanship valued in late 19th century Belgium. These spaces show how local artisans brought refinement to civic interiors.
Visitors can explore the building on guided tours lasting around 50 minutes, available in several languages. It is advisable to check accessibility information beforehand, as certain areas feature architectural elements that may affect movement.
The building forms part of an urban axis linking the Royal Saint Mary's church to Schaerbeek station, deliberately designed to showcase the district's importance during its period of growth. This intentional alignment created a sense of order and prominence in the neighborhood's development.
