For centuries this was a charitable institution of the St. Rumbold’s parish, a so called Table of the Holy Spirit for the poor, the orphans and the mentally ill. Under French government it became an official Bureau for Charity. Since more than 30 years it houses a famous puppet theatre, founded by Jef Contryn.
