Opened in 1938, the former Provincial Hosiery School is an emblematic building of Leuze's economic development. Tinged with Art Deco, it is distinguished by the coloured ceramic inscriptions on its pediments and consists of two main blocks; the classroom block continues along the rue Pastur in a former workshop, likewise identified by a ceramic inscription. The facades are articulated by stepped brick pilasters and by bands of rendered and painted concrete linking the windows and marking the entablature beneath the cornice; inside, the main building retains its original staircase.
