The Castle de Viron is the town hall of the municipality of Dilbeek. The neotudor-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 stairs. 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 castle of Viron was protected as a monument.
