In 1925, Jean-Baptiste Dewin received the instruction to built a new city hall in Vorst, but due to financial problems, the works only started in 1934.
In 1939, the building was finished. The city hall is the personification of the demographic and economic development of Vorst, and is one of the most important and characteristic examples of Art Deco in Brussels. The façades are extensively decorated with animal motives which refers to the name of the community - Vorst is an old Dutch word for "Forest" - ad to the fact that this area in former times was part of the Sonion Forest.
