Woluwe-Saint-Lambert Town Hall, building in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Belgium
Woluwe-Saint-Lambert Town Hall is an administrative building designed in modern style on Avenue Paul Hymans. The structure features clean lines, geometric shapes, and a bright brick facade with a distinctive clock tower and glass dome above the entrance.
Architect Joseph Diongre originally designed the building in 1908 in neorenaissance style but reworked his plans after World War One. The final modern structure was built between 1937 and 1939 as a reflection of new design philosophy.
The building carries the municipality's name and serves as a symbol of local governance in the neighborhood. It functions as a place for civil ceremonies, public gatherings, and community events that connect residents to their area's civic life.
The town hall is easily reached by public transport and sits in a quiet residential neighborhood with a mix of modern and older buildings. Visitors can explore the interior and should allow time to see the bright, spacious rooms.
The original staircase design was removed during metro construction, but the glass dome and bright brick facade still show Diongre's innovative modern approach. The 2014 restoration followed the original architectural plans and preserves this important local character.
