As @JP already mentioned here, the brewery was a merger of two older breweries called "Den Fransche Schild" and "Het Gouden Hoofd" (The Golden Head). The corner building to the right of the brewery is a café that still bears the name "Het Gouden Hoofd" (The Golden Head). Source: geluweinbeelden.be

This Marian chapel is striking not only for its location on a wedge formed by Kerkstraat and Ieperstraat, but especially for its unique shape: eight-sided, under what is called a "bell-shaped tower helmet" (with slates). To the right of the entrance, the architect's name is clearly indicated: "Aime Latte - Kortrijk." The chapel dates from the 1950s. It replaced an earlier chapel that was demolished during the widening of Ieperstraat.

Former brewery known as "Belle Vue," converted in 1976 into the "De Gaper" reception center, designed by architect W. Barthier (Ypres). Established during the 19th century as a result of the merger of two older breweries, "Den Fransche Schild" and "Het Gouden Hoofd" (The Golden Head); rebuilt after the First World War and reportedly in use until the early 1960s. Brewery complex with brick buildings enclosed around a rectangular courtyard with cobblestones, including concrete, benches, and greenery. The gatehouse comprises four bays and one and a half stories under a hipped roof (ridge parallel to the street, tiled); a low right wing of five bays under a saddleback roof (ridge parallel to the street). The neoclassical pilaster facade is similar to the adjacent block of houses numbered 6-10 on the right. The plinth is made of Arras sandstone. The round-arched gatehouse is framed with bluestone bollards. On the courtyard side, rectangular and under an iron I-beam. White-painted courtyard facades of one or two stories under gable roofs (mechanical tiles, corrugated iron), dominated to the north by the former malthouse under a tented roof with a drawbar chimney.
