    Former brewery known as "Belle Vue," converted in 1976 into the "De Gaper" reception center, designed by architect W. Barthier (Ypres). Established during the 19th century as a result of the merger of two older breweries, "Den Fransche Schild" and "Het Gouden Hoofd" (The Golden Head); rebuilt after the First World War and reportedly in use until the early 1960s.

    Brewery complex with brick buildings enclosed around a rectangular courtyard with cobblestones, including concrete, benches, and greenery. The gatehouse comprises four bays and one and a half stories under a hipped roof (ridge parallel to the street, tiled); a low right wing of five bays under a saddleback roof (ridge parallel to the street). The neoclassical pilaster facade is similar to the adjacent block of houses numbered 6-10 on the right. The plinth is made of Arras sandstone. The round-arched gatehouse is framed with bluestone bollards. On the courtyard side, rectangular and under an iron I-beam. White-painted courtyard facades of one or two stories under gable roofs (mechanical tiles, corrugated iron), dominated to the north by the former malthouse under a tented roof with a drawbar chimney.

      As @JP already mentioned here, the brewery was a merger of two older breweries called "Den Fransche Schild" and "Het Gouden Hoofd" (The Golden Head). The corner building to the right of the brewery is a café that still bears the name "Het Gouden Hoofd" (The Golden Head).
