Castle de Viron

De Viron Castle in Dilbeek, a neo-Tudor building with symbolic architecture based on the Julian calendar, has served as a town hall since 1923 and has been a protected heritage site since 1990. Behind the castle lies the Sint-Alenatoren, the last remnant of the original castle.

The town hall "Castle de Viron", designed by architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar, is a 19th century castle in neo-Tudor style, with a park and pond. On the island stands the medieval St. Alenatoren, which is a remnant of the 13th or 14th century castle that was inhabited by the van Heetvelde family and later by the bishops of Cambrai. According to legend, the family of Prince Levold, at the end of the 7th century, also lived on this site. However, the moated castle was destroyed during the Nine Years' War, subsequently restored by the new owner Jean Balthasar Malo (1714) and subsequently demolished in 1862 by the de Viron family.
