Abattoirs of Anderlecht
The Abattoirs of Anderlecht (French: Abattoirs d'Anderlecht; Dutch: Slachthuis van Anderlecht), also known as the Abattoirs and Markets of Anderlecht-Cureghem and the Abattoirs of Cureghem, is a large industrial complex in Anderlecht, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium, and the city's main slaughterhouse, employing some 1,500 people. The buildings, combining industrial and neo-Flemish Renaissance architecture, were originally designed by the architect Émile Tirou in 1889, inaugurated in 1890, and later modified and completed by the architect Henri Rieck between 1901 and 1908. The complex was conceived as a multifunctional slaughterhouse and market facility, and is now operated by the public limited company Abattoir SA. It includes former livestock facilities, covered markets, and administrative buildings, some of which have been repurposed for exhibitions and events. Plans have been announced for partial redevelopment of the site for housing. The Abattoirs are located at 24, rue Ropsy Chaudron/Ropsy Chaudronstraat in Cureghem/Kuregem, alongside the Brussels–Charleroi Canal and adjacent to Campus Kaai of the Erasmus Brussels University of Applied Sciences and Arts (EhB). This area is served by the metro stations Clemenceau and Delacroix on lines 2 and 6.
