  • Great wine bar in an old archive library. Really cool iron work throughout the multi-story building. Nice selection of wines and beers for both drinking-in and taking away.

Our wine bar in Antwerp center has been voted best wine bar in 2023 (Voted Best Winebar Antwerp center)

Introduction:

Everyone knows the iconic Boerentoren, fifty meters from here, a design by the trio Van Averbeke, Vanhoenacker, Smolders. (193

Everyone knows the iconic Boekentoren, more than fifty kilometers from here, in Ghent, a design by Henry van de Velde. (1930)

No one knows the metal book tower in which you will soon find yourself. One of the first, if not the first metal book tower in continental Europe. A design by genius engineer Théodore Lebens. (1850)

Time to make some change in this obscurity.

Welcome to

HET ARCHIEF

Welcome to this revolutionary (!) building that was designed in 1851 and is a jewel of architecture, technology and functionality.

Our business is called THE ARCHIVE because this name, er, is rather obvious.

More than one hundred and seventy years ago, this building was built to house the books and archives of the Province. The facade of this building is sober and unobtrusive. The interior of this building is sober and very striking. This place hides a groundbreaking and groundbreaking vision.

You will soon find yourself in an interior that consists entirely of cast iron from head to toe.

In a little while you will find yourself in a hidden gem that, except for an exceptional period of five years, was closed to the outside world for more than a century and a half.

We look forward to welcoming you in one of the most impressive metal buildings in Europe.
