The stone sundial (diametre 1m) is the top part of the South painted façade of the house.
It was built in style rococo between 1756 and 1760 according to the drawings of the Gent architect Frans Luytens.
The sundial is in a deplorable state dispite the fact a restoration file has been written in 1996.
At last the sundial was restored in 2009 as shown in the second picture.
