The old Laeken town hall in Flemish neo-Renaissance style (designed by Paul Bonduelle and built in 1906) now accommodates various functions such as the police, local authority services and the cultural centre. As part of restructuring and renovation work, the whole building was modernised, by reorganisation of the functions, the circulation of the public and the staff, the refurbishment of the structure, the technical plant, the decoration and the finishing. The cultural centre moved into the front section of the building (shows, library, music, graphic arts), while the local authority services (police, registers of population, births, deaths and marriages) are in the rear section of the building.
