HANGAR 43

Whoever says Hangar 43 initially thinks of the old factory building in Dendermonde. But it is so much more than that. Hidden beneath that industrial layer are typical features of 19th-century factory architecture. Think red bricks, iron rafters and large, industrial glass windows. The oil and dairy products that used to roll off the conveyor belt there had to make way for a dream location for events. Now you too can go there for the party of a lifetime.
