The former Rabobank Office at Kasteellaan has undergone a thorough renovation. This was necessary to to all employees of the municipality of Wijchen to offer a new home. And this new Town Hall is also the new home of all inhabitants of the municipality of Wijchen. The beautifully crafted furnishings give a warm welcome to all visitors.

The municipal employees are fully facilitated in the new Flex work principles. The investment will the municipality a lot of job satisfaction.
The central staircase as a beating heart
In the middle of the property is a beautifully crafted staircase to the two upper floors. Because of the enormous Dome light falls during the day, plenty of natural light. In the Dome light are solar collectors made as one of the elements of the sustainable building concept. As soon as there is artificial light is needed, also burns the LED lighting of the ILLUNOX® stainless steel railings and fences. This makes the stairs also beautifully illuminated at dusk and dark. The design of the staircase underlines the two main principles of light and space of the building design. We are therefore particularly proud with our ILLUNOX® handrails have a stylish and practical contribution to the relief of the staircase. And for our own community!
