Tour et Taxis

The early 20th century inter-modal transport hub on the north side of Brussels takes its name from the family of Frans de Tassis who became Master of the Post in the Holy Roman Empire in 1501, and whose family, the counts Tour et Taxis, managed the postal services in the Habsburg Empire and other European states in the centuries that followed. They transferred their headquarters from Brussels to Frankfurt-am-Main in 1724. Their business declined during the Napoleonic Wars and was finally wound up in 1867. In 1897 agreement was reached for the development of a transport centre on land that had once belonged to the Tour et Taxis family, alongside the Willebroek Canal, and bounded by Avenue du Port and Rue Picard, where inland waterways, railways and road services would interconnect, and where customs and warehousing services would be provided. The railway facilities were completed by 1907, but the Gare Maritime opened only in 1910, and some facilities were not completed until after the First World War. Some of the largest buildings on the 30 ha site were the warehouses in a railway freight complex, designed by Ernest Van Humbeek, that included three huge freight-handling sheds with cast-iron roofs. The buildings of the Gare Maritime were designed by C Bosmans and H Van der Veld. Some 3,000 people were employed within the complex in the 1960s, but the level of activity subsequently declined, and the Belgian postal service was the last user when it moved away in 1987. The re-use of the complex was and is a subject of debate in Brussels, but the Projet Tour et Taxis was established in 2001, and large parts are now occupied by shops, restaurants and exhibition galleries.

• The History Of Tour Taxis...

The History of Belgium’s Tour and Taxis Site in One Minute

The historical Tour & Taxis site on the Brussels Canal is the beating heart of the city’s art scene. Standing tall since the 19th century, the huge former industrial site showcases world-renowned cultural events.

A former international postal service, train station and shipping yard, the Tour & Taxis site has lived many lives. Developed by the German von Thurn und Tassis family (in French really only pronounceable as Tour et Taxis) – European postmaster royalty in those days – the original swampy piece of land rapidly evolved into the spine of Brussels’ economy. And while the grounds haven’t served any transit purposes since the ’60s, the grand industrial decor makes for a great backdrop to the capital’s biggest cultural events. Ongoing renovation works since 2001 have made sure not to disturb the old industrial charm pervading the place. The former railway station still has old tracks running through it, and the mammoth halls known as the Sheds have kept their original metallic framework and saw-tooth ceiling. And even though the four-storey-high, glass-roofed Royal Depot has become a thing of beauty as a multipurpose hub for shopping, dining and general relaxation, Tour & Taxis remains mostly known as a venue for reputable fairs and festivals. The world-class Couleur Café Festival, one of the most diverse culinary and musical experiences in the country, has become a permanent summer fixture. The grand scales of the Old Maritime Station and the Sheds have proven perfect for big springtime events such as Art Brussels, Brussels Design Market and the BIFFF film festival. During the winter, the Brussels Book Fair, the Affordable Art Fair and the prestigious BRAFA (Brussels Antiques and Arts Fair) warm up the cold weekends. Over the centuries, what started as a postal service has become an urban cultural nucleus, attracting the best and biggest happenings all year-round.

Tour & Taxis’ sustainable reimagining in Brussels

Tour & Taxis, a former mail facility in Brussels, is reimagined as an eco-led, mixed-use quarter by Belgian developer Extensa and an array of leading architects

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

In the early 16th century, the aristocratic family of Thurn und Taxis bought a 45-hectare parcel of marshy land on the then-outskirts of Brussels. They had been appointed postmasters by Philip the Fair, the Duke of Burgundy, and held a similar position for the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. Their acquisition would become the centre of Europe’s first international postal service, a Thurn und Taxis enterprise connecting the Spanish Netherlands, Burgundy and Spain with the rest of Europe. The road that crossed the site’s collection of industrial buildings and horse-feeding pastures took the family name, translated into French as Tour et Taxis, giving birth to the district of Tour & Taxis.

By the beginning of the 20th century, it had evolved into a busy logistical ecosystem; goods arrived via train and canal and from there, they were dispatched. Everything passed customs and registration at the Gare Maritime, the complex’s central station. Unfortunately, with the arrival of the EU Customs Union, and later the Schengen Area, customs gradually became irrelevant and the operation obsolete. Tour & Taxis remained disused for 20 years until it was bought by local private developer Extensa in 2001.

Since then, Tour & Taxis has been undergoing something of a reimagining, swapping logistical revolution for sustainability as it seeks to reinvent itself as an eco-friendly district. The area, situated by the Brussels canal and just to the north-west of the Belgian capital’s centre, currently mostly consists of large converted warehouses and offices of brick, iron and glass next to the magnificent, historic, castiron-frame freight station. Extensa’s vision is anchored in the refurbishment of the existing historic buildings to ‘return Brussels’ heritage’ to its inhabitants, as well as a few new-builds. The first renovations and completions started opening in 2005. The aim is to create an eco-led, mixed-use district by restoring as many existing buildings as possible and introducing renewable-energy and energy-saving technologies.

The district’s industrial heritage means that most of the existing buildings are characterised by large volumes, so are well suited to become event spaces and offices. One of the first buildings to open in 2005, the Sheds – a sawtooth storage warehouse designed in 1903 by Ernest Van Humbeeck and reimagined for Extensa by local studio Archi 2000 – has four event spaces, accommodating 10,000 guests each, while Maison de la Poste – a 1904 Frédéric Bruneel building renovated by architects Altiplan in 2019 – is now a conference centre consisting of 15 event spaces that showcase its carefully restored industrial architecture. There are galleries in the refreshed Hôtel des Douanes (a 1907 building also by Van Humbeeck) and more are to come, repurposing the remaining historic buildings in the area. Meanwhile, the few new-builds on site include offices by Neutelings Riedijk (a project that is currently the largest Passivhaus scheme in Belgium), Cepezed, and Samyn and Partners.

The district’s flagship building is the Gare Maritime, whose architectural works were completed in autumn 2020. The retail and food hall within are scheduled to launch in September 2021, marking an important landmark in the area’s redevelopment. At around 45,000 sq m, it was Europe’s largest freight train station at the beginning of the 20th century. The building has now been refreshed, and 12 new cross-laminated timber (CLT) pavilions have been added within.

Gare Maritime is the area’s commercial heart, housing hospitality, shops and offices. It has been carefully restored and redesigned by a team consisting of architects Neutelings Riedijk, Bureau Bouwtechniek and JDMA, and engineers Ney & Partners and Boydens. One of the key design drivers was adherence to the circular economy, salvaging existing materials but also making sure that all interventions are both light-touch and demountable. It boasts the largest CLT structure in Europe and the building is energy neutral. Gardens, designed by landscape architects Omgeving, help regulate the internal temperature and are watered using the rainwater harvesting system.

Additionally, the site uses geothermal heat and 17,200 sq m of photovoltaics on the roof, marking the biggest move to solar energy in the capital. The developers are even bringing a tram line to the area by creating a new bridge over the canal (the water created a barrier that had so far been an obstacle in bringing public transport to this part of town). This, and the fact that many of the streets in Tour & Taxis are pedestrianised, means car use will be discouraged, although there will be underground parking space.

A number of apartment buildings are currently in construction. They are the start to what Kris Verhellen, Extensa’s CEO, hopes is a whole new residential neighbourhood, called Park Lane. Verhellen is acutely aware of the inevitable gentrification of the neighbouring area of Molenbeek, which has a sizable Maghrebi immigrant population. He talks about the scheme’s tax contribution and the state’s responsibility to create an economic system where immigrants aren’t priced out. While the scheme’s sustainability credentials are undeniable, one wonders whether more could be done to ensure links are created to existing communities.

It is true that some of the residential offerings will be rent-capped so that they remain affordable, while future plans include a school and a retirement home. A nine-hectare publicly accessible park, currently in construction, will include a community farm and a garden in an expanse of green that connects the site to the canal, making it one of the biggest parks in Brussels.

Do these interventions go deep enough into the fabric of the existing local community to engage them with the scheme in a meaningful way? Could more be done? One thing is for certain; if Tour & Taxis does deliver, it will provide a precedent of reuse and eco-friendly redevelopment that can be used in other historic settings. Which is exactly why it is important to ensure that social balance takes the same priority as environmental, as it has become increasingly clear that they are inseparable in the quest for sustainability.

World of Mind, the new museum dedicated to illusion in Tour et Taxis

A new permanent museum on the theme of illusion will open to the public on Friday in Tour et Taxis, Brussels.

All five senses will be put to the test in the “World of Mind” (WOM), which aims to demonstrate the limits of the brain and the ways it can deceive us.

The tour is designed to encourage maximum interaction with the public.

Losing one's bearings in a polar blizzard

Some 120 illusions will be presented in a series of rooms, alternating between thematic sequences and immersive experiences. For example, it will be possible to walk through a polar blizzard, whose omnipresent mist and white colour make you lose all your bearings.

Other illusions stimulate sight, touch and hearing, and provide a better understanding of how the brain works to constantly adapt to its environment, with a view to coherence.

The illusions presented at the WOM are designed to suit the whole family, and everyone has the opportunity to experience them according to their own sensitivity. Moreover, “as we know that this appeals a lot to young people, we have placed many ‘instagrammable’ elements along the way,” adds the exhibition’s scriptwriter.

Keeping things simple and fun

Through short videos projected alongside the illusions, Belgian neurologist Steven Laureys demystifies the interactions between the five senses and the brain by explaining them to his daughter.

The designers of the museum wanted “to keep things simple and fun. It was not the intention that a scientist in a white coat should flatly state the facts,” he explains.

The location in Tour et Taxis was not by chance either. The desire was to create a first permanent exhibition in this now rapidly developing area. “It is also an opportunity for visitors to discover other activities offered on the site during the same day,” the organisers note.

Taxis in Moscow

While Moscow has an efficient public transport system, you may sometimes find it more convenient to travel by taxi and prices are usually affordable . Find fares and top tips here!

Unless you speak Russian, we wouldn't recommend flagging down a taxi on the street in Moscow , as drivers are unlikely to speak English. If you do decide to do this, bear in mind that the "taxis" are not always official licensed vehicles, despite what the driver may say.

Recommendations

The best thing to do is book a taxi via a reliable service . Your accommodation will provide you with recommended numbers to call or contact them for you, or alternatively, the  Yandex app  is a really useful way to book taxis on the go. Like other taxi apps, you can select the exact pick up and drop off addresses , avoiding the language barrier as much as possible.

We always recommend agreeing the price of your taxi in advance , clearly indicating your destination, to avid misunderstandings and nasty surprises when it comes to paying.

Fees are generally reasonable, and often cheaper if booked in advance. Taxis to and from the airports vary between 1000 and 2500 Roubles, and there are extra charges for children's car seats and luggage. Do bear in mind that Moscow's traffic can get crazy, so avoid travelling by taxi during peak times, and make sure to leave plenty of time if you've got a flight or train to catch!
