Our new favourite neighbour. Its name refers to a time when many ‘kriekelaars’ (sour cherry trees) were all over Schaerbeek. Today, De Kriekelaar and Brussels collective ‘Buumkwekers’ have replanted more than 350 trees in many gardens in Schaerbeek in an attempt to bring the tree back.

We’re sure you know AB as one of the most famous concert halls of Belgium, but did you know we used to be roommates? In 1990, after years of noise complaints, Ancienne Belgique was forced to move to do extensive renovation works and temporarily moved into the Lunatheater building, where we made our permanent home. After six years, they said goodbye and moved back to the centre, but we are still good friends to this day.
You can find all the accessibility information about the AB here.
