Van Eyck Swimming Pool, Public swimming pool in Ghent, Belgium
The Van Eyck Swimming Pool features an art deco interior design with detailed architectural elements and a 25-meter swimming lane for recreational activities.
Built in 1886, this facility stands as the oldest indoor swimming pool in Belgium, initially serving as a summer-only recreational space for local residents.
The basement level maintains its original function as a public bathhouse, providing washing facilities for residents without private bathrooms in their homes.
The swimming pool operates from Monday to Friday between 18:00 and 22:00, and during weekends from 13:00 to 16:30, with entrance fees of 6 euros.
The first floor houses the Au Bain lounge bar, which provides direct views of both the swimming activities and the adjacent marina through large windows.
