Located in the heart of Brussels between the Sablon, Place du Jeu de Balle and Brussels-Chapel train station, Les Ateliers des Tanneurs offer its spaces in a beautiful Art Nouveau-style complex. Completely renovated, the architectural complex, jewel of Brussels’ industrial heritage, has several centres: a business centre, the Tanneurs organic market and a restaurant.
The Ateliers des Tanneurs is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
In 1892 Ernest Catteau, the owner of the Brias et Compagnie company, decides to set up his business in the Rue des Tanneurs in the heart of the Marolles, a district in full swing. He bought the buildings of the first modern bakery of the time and set up his business there, supplying the Court with pastries, wines, liqueurs, chocolates, etc.
In 1909, the architect F. Symons designed an Art Nouveau inspired façade, decorated with graffiti evocative of the great European wine centres. The wine trading business flourished and became the Wine Palace, the reference company for wine sales in Belgium.
The premises were unoccupied for a long time and were put up for public sale in 1978. They were used as warehouses for the Palais du Vin until 1996, and were then occupied for a time by a group of artists, before being bought by the CPAS of Brussels.
