Town Hall Museum
On one of the bells of the town hall is the date 1358 engraved which is probably the year that the building was first put into use. The first small town hall was demolished and rebuilt in 1554. The tower dates from the same year. On top is a statue of Neptune. With a trident in his hand the Roman God overlooks the town. The city council resided here until 1997. These days the Town hall museum is in this building. It is merged with the old maritime museum. Objects from 1000 years history can be admired here. The Town Hall Museum has its own bar area in the courtyard with a terrace. There can be solemnized marriages and registered partnerships.

New Church
This neoclassical church was built in the period 1835-1848 as the successor to the Sint-Lievenmonster church that was laid in ashes in 1832.
The building was built in 1358, then demolished and rebuilt in 1526. Translated Gravensteen means Building of the Count. In the building lived the steward of the count and his officials. In its heyday it also served as a court and prison. The numerous inscriptions, the oldest of which dates back to 1577, are a reminder of those prisoners. It remained a place of detention until 1923. Since the restoration in 2012 a Fair Trade Shop is housed in the building.
