The call for projects, which closed on October 15, 2026, aimed to redevelop this exceptional historical heritage. The submitted offer focuses on the development of a hotel project that will include the conservation of the museum.
These buildings, representing major cultural and architectural heritage, require a rigorous approach balancing preservation, rehabilitation, and economic viability. The Communal College will soon begin a dialogue with the project leader.
The project involves the former Minorite Convent (16-20 rue Vankeerberghen) and the Governor's House (14 rue Vankeerberghen), as well as an unlisted building (2 rue de la Résistance).
The objective is to grant long-term leases for the listed sites of the former Minorite Convent and the Governor's House, and to proceed with a sale for the building on rue de la Résistance.
