Mayor Vilain The mayor and designer, Ferdinand De Noyette from Gentbrugge, and after his death his brother Modeste, were inspired by the French classical architectural tradition.
Construction was completed in 1873. In 1952, the town hall was expanded with an elongated new building in Kerkstraat. This part is not recognized as a monument.
The town hall is a fine example of classically oriented eclecticism. This is the mixing of different styles and techniques. The exterior facade of the town hall mainly contains Baroque elements, the interior is neoclassical.
