Boerentoren KBC

Schoenmarkt 35, Antwerp, Belgium

 

The Boerentoren, or Farmers' Tower, was built specially for the world expo which was held in Antwerp in 1930. On a site which had been bombed in the war, one of the first US-style skyscrapers was erected with a facade consisting of art-deco elements. The original tower was 87.5 meters high but after restoration works in the seventies, when the whole building was transformed into office space, it reached its current height of 97 meters. The name of the building refers to the farmers' co-operative which was the main investor of the original project. The tower is currently leased by KBC, one of Belgium's largest banks. Admission: upon request only and on special occasions.
