The "Oud Postgebouw" in #Gent (Oost-Vlaanderen), designed by architect Louis Cloquet, was constructed between 1900 and 1908 on the site of a former warehouse. Exhibiting an eclectic style with neo-gothic and neo-renaissance influences, the building features a 52-meter-high clock tower and richly decorated façades adorned with over 100 sculptures, including representations of Belgium, its colony, the five continents, and 23 contemporary European heads of state.
