Bains de la Sauvenière, Art Deco public bath in Liège, Belgium
The Bains de la Sauvenière is a Streamline Moderne building featuring large south-facing windows that reveal the swimming pool across the second and third floors. The structure accommodates up to 1250 visitors and stands prominently at Place Xavier-Neujean.
Construction started in 1938 but faced delays due to World War II, when German forces restricted access only to their troops. The building's restoration and reopening marked an important moment in Liège's post-war recovery.
The building transformed into La Cité Miroir in 2014 and now hosts exhibitions, performances, and a public library that attracts visitors from across the region. This space serves as a gathering point for cultural events and offers room for discussions and artistic experiences.
The building offers free entry during operating hours and sits in a central location at Place Xavier-Neujean. Its large capacity and convenient location make it easy to reach, and visitors should note it is a protected heritage site.
Beneath the building lies a classified air raid shelter, the only one in Wallonia with protected heritage status. This underground space tells a story about an important aspect of wartime urban safety and survival.
