Guild house, now known as Mismo bar
Father Henricus Meeus (parish priest from 1896 to 1916) had the Gildezaal built in 1905 as a parish hall: the Catholic Guild House in the Kosterstraat. It was renovated in 1960. The Guild House was the meeting place of, among others, the farmers’ guild and the K.A.V. women’s association; it hosted theatre, billiards (B.C. Sint-Cornelius) and table tennis. The exhibition ‘Oud-Diegem’ was held there in 1965.
