Town Hall of Roeselare

The town hall of Roeselare, with the main administrative functions for Roeselare, Rumbeke, Beveren, and Oekene, has great historical value. It combines history with modern architecture.
The town hall can be divided into two parts. On the one hand, there is the ‘old’ section, and on the other hand, there is the newer wing. The older part was built in three years, between 1769 and 1771, in the Louis XV style. That is a baroque style, and as a result, the town hall is characterized by its lightness, playfulness, and asymmetry. Also during that period, Roeselare was part of the lordship of Wijnendale. Therefore, above the facade, the coat of arms of Charles Theodore of Bavaria is displayed, who was the lord at that time. In 1924, a more modern wing was added. In this section, we find the belfry tower, which, along with the St. Michael's Church, is a landmark of the skyline of Roeselare.
