Boerentoren, Art Deco tower in Antwerp, Belgium
The KBC Tower rises 95.8 meters into the Antwerp skyline with its triangular base, steel skeleton structure, and distinct geometric patterns.
Built between 1929 and 1932, this structure became the first skyscraper in Belgium and the second tallest building in Europe at that time.
The building earned its nickname Boerentoren from its original purpose as headquarters for a bank serving Belgian farmers and agricultural communities.
The tower contains 26 floors accessible through 15 elevators, with the ground level featuring retail spaces along Schoenmarkt street.
A copper-lined water reservoir with 230 cubic meters capacity sits at the top floor, while bronze caryatids decorate the building's base.
