Orbiting high above Boulevard Reyers, the Reyers Tower has been a silent observer of Brussels since 1979. The Reyers Tower isn’t just a communication tower. It’s a concrete pillar reaching 70 meters tall, crowned by a massive 34-meter diameter saucer. This saucer wasn’t built piece by piece at dizzying heights. It was ingeniously constructed on the ground and then hoisted to the top. Imagine the engineering feat. The Reyers Tower houses the broadcasting giants of Belgium, RTBF and VRT. Each occupies their own section in the saucer, separated but united in their purpose of transmitting news and entertainment across the nation. The Reyers Tower itself isn’t open to the public. But its impact is felt by everyone who tunes into Belgian television. It’s a symbol of communication and connection, a beacon in the Brussels skyline. Architect Roger Bastin’s creation stands as a testament to innovative design and practical engineering. The tower has also made its mark on popular culture, appearing in the 1998 film “Une sirène dans la nuit” (“A Mermaid in the Night”). Although it is a recent landmark compared to some of Brussels’ historical sites, the Reyers Tower stands as a modern marvel, silently transmitting its signals across the city and beyond.
