Zwembad Van Eyck, Art Deco swimming pool in Portus Ganda, Belgium
The swimming facility features a 25-meter pool with an observation deck and eleven traditional baths distributed across multiple floors within the building.
Built between 1885 and 1886, this establishment became the first covered swimming pool in Belgium, initially serving the local population who lacked access to private bathing facilities.
The swimming pool bears the name of the Van Eyck brothers, influential Flemish painters who created the renowned Ghent Altarpiece in the 15th century.
The facility operates Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with different pricing tiers for residents and non-residents of Ghent.
The basement level maintains functioning bath cabins, continuing the traditional public bathing service for local residents who need washing facilities.
