Samenvatting (annotatie): The Farmers' Tower and its intriguing history revealed in new stories and images never seen before Since 1931, the Farmers’ Tower has served as a majestic landmark on Antwerp’s skyline. As Europe’s very first skyscraper, it is much more than a building: it symbolises innovation, daring and pride. Its rich history also makes it a silent witness to many historical events that have shaped not only Antwerp but Flanders and Belgium too. This beautifully illustrated book puts the Farmers’ Tower in the spotlight. Historical writer Johan Op de Beeck conjures up a picture of Antwerp before the Tower was built, while Geheugen Collectief’s public historians uncover the multifaceted history of this architectural icon based on new archive material. City guide Tanguy Ottomer and others add a personal touch with anecdotes from people who lived and worked in the Farmers’ Tower. Along with photographs that have never been published before, these stories bring the building to life in all its glory. Journey back in time through the history of the Farmers’ Tower, an architectural masterpiece that has fascinated and inspired for almost a century.
