Description

In 1935, the State built a factory between the Spierebeek and the Scheldt, with the aim of conducting tests for water purification. On 18 May 1937, King Leopold III came to visit this water treatment plant. The plans were cancelled because they were too expensive and polluting. The building was neglected and was transformed into a swimming pool by Mr Samain. The Spiere swimming pool was one of the first open-air swimming pools in Belgium. There was a last swim in 1955. In the meantime, the former outdoor swimming pool was given the status of a protected monument. Now it is being restored and given a function as a tourist meeting place.
