At the end of the 19th century, the small white villa Moedbeck stood between the Kwikstraat and the Twee Leeuwenstraat. Around 1909, Robert Pauwels bought it and had it demolished. He immediately bought half of the Kwikstraat.
He built a concierge with two lions at the front, probably a gatehouse of a Brussels hotel that was brought to Everberg.
The low building under a mansard roof has a front facade in neo-French baroque: brick alternates with natural stone and cement. The most striking feature is the bluestone door frame, crowned with ornamental vases, a wheel window and a segmental arch pediment.
At the back, he built the villa ‘Le Carillon’ or now called villa Pauwels. It is now the location of the Kembo company.
In the garden, he built an orangery, a demolition of the Hotel of the Princes of Arenberg (also owner of the castle of Arenberg in Heverlee and of the Egmont Palace in Brussels).
The domain has a beautiful lime tree. Here we find the influences of eclecticism and cottage style.
Robert Pauwels is the founder of the Everbergse and Grubbese bantam rooster. Bantams are purebred poultry that originated from the breeding of purebred chickens. In Belgium, six bantam breeds have been created, all with three-part beards. The Ukkelse and Everbergse have foot feathering and a single comb. They are calm, friendly ornamental bantams, but the eggs can also be eaten.
