On 14 and 15 March, come and discover, free of charge, a magnificent example of modernist heritage: the Huis van de Vlaamse Volksvertegenwoordigers (‘House of the Flemish People’s Representatives’), the administrative centre of the Flemish Parliament. This office block was built by the influential architect Victor Bourgeois for the former Post Office Cheques Office. The guided tour begins with a look at the modernist and neoclassical façades. You will then enter the vast counter hall. The guides will show you various features of the former post office building that have been perfectly preserved: the post office counters, the pneumatic tubes, the historic lifts, and so on.
The guided tours are led by guides from the Flemish Parliament.
