Town Hall, Aalst: View of town square with band stand and facade of town hall

The town hall is a large complex of 17th century buildings arranged around a courtyard, updated in the 18th century. These are brick and stone; one wing features a large Rococo gable. The town hall itself is a block forming the street facade and dates from 1825-1830. Roelandt's earliest projects conform to the strict Neo-classical or Empire style of his French teachers (Charles Percier and Pierre-Fran\u00E7ois-L\u00E9onard Fontaine).
