Built in the 1930s and beautifully restored over ten years, this listed monument offers more than just a place to swim. 🏊♀️
Designed not for leisure but for public well-being, the building originally included individual bathrooms and showers to address the lack of sanitary facilities among the working-class population in the neighborhood.
With its monumental entrance, restored changing rooms, and geometric charm, it shows how public spaces can embody beauty, function, and social purpose.
This visit was part of the BANAD Festival (@explorebrussels), which celebrates Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture across the Brussels-Capital Region.
