  Oude Stadsfeestzaal (Old Municipal Festive Hall)
 
The Oude Stadsfeestzaal was orginally a secondary school for girls and was designed by architect Victor Louckx, who left his mark on the image of Mechelen and the end of the nineteenth century. He interpreted the historical style characteristics on a free basis. Nevertheless, there is a distinct influence visible of the Italian Renaissance. On the ground floor there are Doric columns, on the gallery, Ionic ones. The wooden doors and the guillocheband , that runs over both floors, in their turn, refer to Classicism, while the blueprint reminds us of a classic basilica. The ceiling hides a wooden grid, originally set with glass, and a magistral iron roof construction.
