De Ceuvel
In the former shipyard they carried out one of the most unique urban experiments in Europe. The old houseboats were placed on heavily polluted soil, working areas were equipped with cleaning technologies and everything was connected by a pier. De Ceuvel is a testing platform for sustainable technologies.
