Town Hall Square

This town hall certainly has something of a church and that is no coincidence.
The Carmelites settled here in 1620, but their church burned down in 1695. Dating back to 1720, this brick building is graced by a simple Baroque facade. The Carmelites were expelled from their church in 1797 (French Revolution) and in 1809 it became the property of the municipality.
In the bottom corner you can see the mischievous Maca climbing the platform.

The former Carmes Chaussés church is a baroque-style building that was part of a great Carmelite convent located in Wavre, a town in the province of Walloon Brabant, in Belgium. Redesigned, the building now houses the services of the town hall.
The Carmelite Chaussés convent church was built in 1662. Destroyed by fire in 1695, it was rebuilt around 17201.

The monks were expelled from their convent in 1797 by the French revolutionaries: the convent was acquired in 1809 by the City of Wavre1, which installed the municipal administration there. Damaged by a German bombardment in May 1940, the church was restored after World War II.
The building now houses the town hall of Wavre and has been listed as a historical monument since March 8, 19382.
