Le château en bref
Kasteel De Warande, at 24 Bergstraat in Kemmel, stands south-west of the village, on the eastern slope of the Kemmelberg. It was built in 1925, on the site of a hunting lodge, by the Ostend architects C. Pil and H. Carbon for Baron Jacques Bruneel de la Warande, mayor of Kemmel. The coats of arms of the Bruneel and de Montalembert families adorn the staircase. After a period as a holiday residence, it has served as the town hall since 1979. In the neo-Renaissance style, with a U-shaped plan, it has two storeys above a raised ground floor, built of yellow brick on a blue stone plinth, with round corner towers with tent roofs, pilasters, a three-sided bay window and an arcaded veranda. To the north, the former coach house and stables open through a gateway with octagonal turrets; the park contains a pond and numerous broadleaved trees.
