Walking with Charles Pil - Lo-Reninge
On December 21, 1867, Charles Pil (1867–1949) was born in the small village of Lo. Coming from a farming family, he moved to Ostend after completing his studies in architecture, where he built many stately villas and mansions. After World War I, he returned to his hometown with Henri Carbon (1882–1950) and helped with the reconstruction. Both Lo and Reninge had been completely destroyed, and rapid reconstruction was urgently needed.
Starting in 1920, the architectural duo Pil & Carbon would make an enormous contribution. During this heritage walk, get to know Lo-Reninge and its wartime history, and discover the many preserved buildings designed by the architectural duo Charles Pil and Henri Carbon.
This route is part of the supra-local project "Charles Pil 1867-1949".
