The Castle of Viron is the town hall of the municipality of Dilbeek. The Neo-Tudor style building was designed in 1862 by the architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar, commissioned by the de Viron family, who settled in Dilbeek in 1775. The castle has 12 towers, 52 rooms, 365 windows and 7 staircases. According to tradition, this striking number refers to the Julian calendar: 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days and 7 days a week. In 1923, the municipality established its town hall in the castle. In 1990, the Viron Castle was protected as a monument, together with the ice cellar in the Sint-Alena Park.

Viron Castle, designed by architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar in 1862, is now used as the town hall. The castle is situated at the highest point of Dilbeek's municipal park, north of the Sint-Alenatoren tower. The ice cellar is located west of the castle along Heetveldelaan. The castle, its outbuildings, and the park were designated as a protected monument and village view in 1990.
