- A page presenting the building on our website, which includes: a photo and video gallery, a location map, the building's data, its opening hours, a description of its history, architecture and tourism, the 6 remarkable elements to discover and the agenda of events taking place there. The site is available in four languages: Dutch, English and German. It is suitable for all displays (computers, tablets, smartphones).
