Maison du Bailli

This house, dating from the first half of the 16th century, is traditionally identified as the former residence of the bailiffs of Braine-le-Château. Under the Ancien Régime, the bailiff was the lord’s representative, responsible in particular for judicial matters. The last bailiff, Justinien Thienpont, lived there in the late 18th century.

The building is distinguished by its Renaissance sandstone gable, adorned with bull’s-eye windows and decorative steps, as well as by its carriage entrance with a pointed arch.

Acquired by the local council in 2000, the Maison du Bailli now houses the Tourist Office (formerly the Royal Syndicat d’Initiative) and the local council’s documentation centre.
