Usine élévatoire des eaux, Historical pumping station in Lille, France
The two-story quadrangular central building features cast iron columns and a facade adorned with three arched bays and a brick arcade frieze.
The pumping station, built in 1876 by engineers Flamant, Bertin, Rivière and Pelle, supplied water to the Roubaix Canal for 130 years.
The Neo-Romanesque facades incorporate decorative elements representing water and navigation, showcasing 19th-century industrial architecture.
The European Metropolis of Lille currently transforms the site into a 2000-square-meter coworking space with restaurant, spa and common areas.
The underground hydraulic system includes a U-shaped tunnel and a spillway accessible from the left wing of the main building.
