In architecture, the Van de Walle textile factory is a fine example of an industrial "palace" with its imposing concrete and glass façade. Built in 1930, this storage building is particularly striking with its glass roofs and its marquee, above which appears the factory's sign. Nearby, the director's house forms a well-preserved ensemble.

The weaving museum bears witness to this rich industrial heritage.
