The Old Town Hall of Lo (West-Vlaanderen) in Belgium, was constructed between 1565 and 1566 in renaissance style by Joos Staesin from Ypres. The building features a corner belfry tower supported by two Tuscan columns, culminating in four stepped gables with openings for the bells. The lower part of the tower includes an open arcade from which official announcements were historically made. Inside, the first floor houses a preserved Flemish dining hall adorned with an ornate mantelpiece, oak ceiling, and stained glass windows by Kamiel Wybo, depicting the coats of arms of secular and ecclesiastical rulers of that era.
