Ferme du Biéreau, Cultural music center in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
Ferme du Biéreau is a historic farmhouse built with brick and blue stone, organized around a central courtyard with a timber-framed barn dating to the 1500s. The complex includes a concert hall seating around 400 people, where performances are held regularly.
The site was first recorded in 1601 and belonged to the Abbey of Florival for six centuries before passing to municipal ownership in 1977. It received protected monument status in 1988, securing its future preservation.
The site operates today as a music center where visitors gather to experience classical, pop, and world music performances throughout the year. The historic courtyard creates a distinctive setting for audiences to connect with diverse musical traditions.
Free parking surrounds the site with two designated spaces for visitors with reduced mobility providing direct access to the venues inside. The covered areas and corridors make it easy to move around even in rainy weather.
The courtyard displays steel silhouettes of musical instruments embedded in concrete slabs, a project funded through community donations and public participation. This artwork connects the site's past with its current role as a music venue in a creative way.
