Community Centre Moorsel

In the heart of the Belgian village of Moorsel, a disused 18th-century presbytery complex has been converted into a public domain, thereby fulfilling the village community's longstanding need for a multifaceted meeting place. The previously closed-off walled garden can now be enjoyed to the full by village residents. New buildings, such as a multi-purpose hall and a clubhouse, allow for a diversified use. The tranquil presbytery garden, with its sweeping lawn and numerous trees, has become a park, a transformation that has added a substantial quantity of green to the palette of predominantly hardscaped public spaces in the centre of Moorsel.
