Poelaert Elevators, Public elevator system in Marolles district, Belgium
The Poelaert Elevators consist of two independent lifts reaching 27.7 meters in height, connecting Square Breughel l'Ancien with Place Poelaert in Brussels.
The initial concept for connecting Marolles to Place Poelaert emerged in the 19th century, with plans for a funicular before the elevators construction in 2002.
Finnish artist Kaarina Kaikkonen created an installation named 'If I Had Wings' in 2018, displaying 1,300 colored T-shirts on the elevator structure.
The elevators operate daily from 7:00 AM to 11:30 PM and can transport up to 16 passengers per cabin with a maximum load of 1,250 kilograms.
A metal walkway stretching 36 meters in length required special transportation to Brussels for installation connecting the elevator to Place Poelaert.
