Convent of the Convent of Bethlehem, almost completely destroyed during the First World War and rebuilt after the war to plans by J. Van Hoenacker and J. Van Beurden, completed in 1924. The inventory describes it as an impressive convent building of 1924 with an Art Deco tinge, in brick of several shades, with symmetrical façades rhythmed by full-height pilasters. Partly fitted out as a clinic in 1934, it is now part of a multi-purpose complex devoted to healthcare and education. It is listed in the inventory of architectural heritage.
