Koninklijk Atheneum Antwerpen
Koninklijk Atheneum Antwerpen, Educational landmark in Franklin Rooseveltplaats, Antwerp, Belgium.
The Koninklijk Atheneum Antwerpen features detailed architectural elements across its multi-story facade, designed by architect Pieter Jan August Dens in the 1880s.
The institution, founded in 1807 by Napoleon Bonaparte, moved to its current location in 1884 after several relocations throughout Antwerp.
The school maintains its status as a protected monument since 1994, representing the educational development of Belgium during the 19th century.
Students receive Chromebooks and access to specialized STEM programs, preparing them for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
A section of fire-damaged wall from 2003 remains preserved within the building, with the renovated space now functioning as the AthenA event venue.
