Antwerp City Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The town hall is on the list of the UNESCO world cultural heritage. The town hall is a Renaissance building, designed by the architect Cornelis Floris De Vriendt. It was built between 1561 and 1564. The town hall is mainly built in the Renaissance style, but the middle section is already reminiscent of the Baroque. After the thorough restoration in 2018-2022, the town hall is a contemporary, sustainable and open house of government. After the restoration, the town hall is an open house, an icon of valuable immovable heritage on the Grote Markt.

Antwerp Central Station

Highlight • Monument

Antwerp Central Station, also known as the Central Station or Railway Cathedral by Antwerp residents, was put into use in 1905. The building consists of a steel platform roof and a stone station building in eclectic style. In 2007, a tunnel opened under the station, meaning Antwerp Central is no longer a terminal station. Central Station has been voted several times as one of the most beautiful stations in the world.

The station opened on August 11, 1905. In 1975 it became a protected monument and from 1986 it was thoroughly renovated. Between 2000 and 2009, the railway hall was doubled in capacity, including platforms on two underground levels. In the past, trains had to drive in and out again. Now they can continue thanks to the railway tunnel between the station and the north of the city.

The Sint-Annatunnel or pedestrian tunnel was constructed in 1931-1931 as a connection between the left and right banks. The access and ventilation buildings on both banks of the Scheldt were designed by E. Van Averbeke. Full description and history at inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/216718

As the information board (see photos) indicates, the tunnel, including both entrance buildings and the entire original technical equipment, has been protected as a monument since 1997.

On the way back from Walcheren we made a stop in Antwerp and took a stroll through the beautiful old town. We first passed the stately houses on the Grote Markt with their golden symbols on the highest point of the gable, before we took a break in the sun at the Scheldt. Via the main shopping street we headed …
