Tour Simenon, Liège, Residential tower in central Liège, Belgium.
The Tour Simenon stands 78 meters tall on Quai de l'Ourthe, featuring a modernist design that marks the Liège city landscape with its concrete structure.
Architects Henri Bonhomme and Jean Poskin completed this residential building in 1963 as part of a larger urban development project in post-war Belgium.
The building bears the name of Belgian author Georges Simenon, who was born in Liège and gained international recognition for his detective novels.
Located near public transportation stations and commercial areas, the tower provides residential spaces with views across the Meuse River and city center.
The structure represents one of four towers planned during the 1970s development phase, marking a shift in Liège's architectural landscape.
