The old town hall is a detached construction in neo-Flemish Renaissance style with neo-Gothic reminiscence, from 1910 (see gable stone) after a design by J. Taeymans from 1909.

You can't miss the old town hall on the market of Groot Vorst. With its characteristic high tower... it has towered over the area since 1910. Built by architect Jules Taeymans (who also designed the nearby Vranckx Castle) in neo-Gothic style with medieval elements, the former council chamber is still used for weddings. On the top floor, the so-called guild room served as a party room and classroom for boys during and after the Second World War. Source: heritage information board at the Oude Pastorij.
