Couvent et orphelinat des Sœurs de l'Enfance de Jésus — Hasselt

Convent and orphanage of the Sisters of the Infant Jesus, designed by architect Karel Gessler and built in two phases in the early 1930s: a permit application was filed in 1931 for the convent and in 1934 for the orphanage. The symmetrical street wing, in yellow brick on a rubble plinth, belongs to a sober Art Deco incorporating traditional elements. The entrance sits in the central gabled projection that houses (or housed) the chapel on the upper floor, flanked by gabled corner projections. Since 2005 the complex has been converted into social housing.
