Zuiderpershuis, Industrial heritage and cultural center in Antwerp, Belgium
The Zuiderpershuis features two cylindrical towers, a machine hall, and steam boiler rooms within its neo-baroque architectural structure at Waalsekaai.
Between 1883 and 1977, this hydraulic power station supplied energy to 156 cranes, 30 capstans, and multiple bridges through a 15-kilometer pipeline network.
The building transformed into a cultural venue in 1984, hosting theater performances, concerts, and providing space for artists and cultural organizations.
The facility contains multiple halls, including a main performance space and smaller rooms for workshops, with regular guided tours starting from the bar.
The preserved accumulators in the towers remain the only surviving examples from all hydraulic power stations in Antwerp's port history.
