Understand
Popular district if there is one, it was, from the Middle Ages, occupied by craftsmen mainly tanners and millers who used water from the Senne to practice their activities. With the industrial revolution, many craft breweries, which have now disappeared, settled in the neighborhood. From this revolution remain many industrial buildings today transformed into lofts. The two main places of tourist interest are gentrified rue Dansaert, which delimits the district with that of the Quais, a real showcase for young Belgian stylists and fashion designers from the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and the School of La Cambre in Brussels, as well as the museum of sewers.
