This is the Boerentoren (also known as the KBC Tower) in Antwerp. It is a monumental
Art Deco building, completed in 1931. It was the first skyscraper in Europe and, at the time,
the tallest high-rise building in Europe. The building is 95.75 meters tall and has a steel frame
with a white limestone finish. The name "Boerentoren" comes from the bank that was originally
located there and primarily served farmers.
