It's demolished after the summer break of 2015.

Cheers!

It's an inspiring and very ambitious project. Here's their website (in Dutch, but with many pictures of the space and how it'll look in the future): www.dehoorn.eu/.

Whyle I was searching for an entrance to one of the buildings, a guy asked me what I was looking for. He turned out to be the boss of the Stella Artois brewery.. I had a little chat with him and he said that all the old buildings will b demolished ASAP..

I wasn't able to acces any of the buildings.. as construction workers were everywhere.. what a shame for these old wonderfull buildings..

]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:19:00 +0200 item_7567 Loof careful when going there now,
they increased security (found out first hand) since more ppl began visiting the place, and since the construction plans went public (those causes are probably related)
Seriously worth visiting though, awesome view on top!

I'm still not sure how to enter "De Hoorn" though, unless you bring a ladder (couldn't find one in the near surroundings).
Can anyone enlighten me?

]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 02:01:00 +0100 item_3202 maarten hello, Yes most of the old buildings are still there. I live in a small outskirt of Leuven and I like searching this kind of places. I didn't even know this one! Most of the grounds are under construction right now. (the mayor, tobback, really likes large building projects, but mostly they work out fine) So I do not know how long they will still be there. When you are in town, be sure to check out the carillon-tower of the university-library too. It is not as high as the silo's but it is in the center of the city. And off course, have a sip of the beer!
Maybe i'll see you on the city skyline soon!
greets,

Maarten

we're gonna do the tour, take in the sites, watch a game of football & obviously drink some of the local brews.

Matt, hope you're not planning to raid the place.....not before we get thjere anyway?!

]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:39:00 +0200 item_2386 matt Great beer, and wonderful pics!!

With the price of copper these days all that equipment must be worth a fortune!!!

]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:29:00 +0200 item_2336 Cinezaster Both buildings are still standing but they started working on the brewery. I regulary visit the rooftop of the malthouse and the silos build next to the malthouse. If you walk around the high old silo tower to the back you wil find a way inside.

]]> Tue, 08 Jan 2008 22:02:00 +0100 item_1600 Westside The pictures are dated a while ago, me & 3 friends are planning a Eurotrip to take the modern factory tour in Oct this year, are the old brewery & malthouse still there?!

Can we get in them still?!

]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2004 08:08:00 +0200 item_144 kris herteleer Fantastic idea, worth to do it at all places, not only for the nostalgic idea behind it, also for the superp photographs. a history of the places would complete the job. I am intersted in history of brewing and all sorts around and therfore I came in the site of Verlipack, becaause since the years 19OO beer was beginning to be bottled... About the site of Artois, where is that site? thanks for your reply.

]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2004 07:19:00 +0200 item_143 Mr. Phil Where exactly in town is it? The photo of the city from the inside should put it by the canal, over past Silo? How did you get inside?
