Tielt — from Ieperstraat to Stationstraat

In Tielt, this short route brings together five Art Deco buildings from 1924 to 1938. It starts at Maurice Vander Meeren’s Sacred Heart memorial (1938), first erected on the Markt and moved in 1985 against a gable on Ieperstraat, then passes, on Nieuwstraat, a house by Valère Lievens (1925-1926) and the façade signed and dated by Charles Hoge in 1926. It then goes down Stationstraat, with A. Bibouw’s two shop and apartment buildings (1936) and the former Hotel de la Boucherie, built in 1924 for the butcher Oscar De Clercq and now a funeral home.
