    The smallest town hall in Belgium (Chapel van Watereynde)

    This building, a chapel dedicated to Our Lady, dates from the mid-17th century.

    In 1863 the municipality of Varendonk decided to turn this small chapel into a town hall.
    There was so little space that at a wedding only the wedding couple, secretary and mayor could take a seat and the rest had to wait outside.


    In 1956 the municipal services moved to a newly built town hall.

    The smallest town hall in our country is located in the former municipality of Varendonk. What is now a small hamlet of the Veerle sub-municipality was once an independent municipality. The building was neglected for years but renovated a few years ago, with the full approval of the local residents.

    From 1863 to 1956, the town hall of Varendonk was housed in this chapel, which made it the smallest town hall in Belgium. The oldest town hall was renovated at the end of 2015 at the request of the residents of Varendonk.
