Wielemans House
The building was designed by the architect Adrien Blomme, in the style of the 1930s. Many features of art deco, such as geometric lines and a linear structure, are set alongside elements of Moorish style, such as the patio and the different types of ceramic tiling: azulejos, tiras verdes and alambrillas. 

The building's restoration, which was undertaken by the insurance company GENERALI BELGIUM, was  carried out by an Italian company led by the architect Morozzo della Rocca, has rejuvenated the aura of this architectural gem, listed by Monuments et Sites since 1994. This cultural project, underwritten by Generali Belgium, was awarded the Caius prize in 1997 by the Prométhéa Foundation and the "EUROPA NOSTRA" award.
