Online Highways Home > > Antwerp City Map with Features Brouwershuis The name Brouwershuis means Brewers House, but the alternative name Waterhuis, meaning Water House is more accurate -- this building was not an actual brewery, but a watermill which pumped water to several breweries. Built in 1553 and designed by the renowned architect and engineer Gilbert van Schoonbeke (1519 - 1556), it was a marvel of ingenuity at its inception. Horses powered a treadmill which drew water up to the buildings upper story; from there, a system of pipes distributed the water to various destinations. All the workings are still intact today, as is the room in which the Antwerp Brewers Guild used to meet. Read reviews and find hotels in Antwerp.
