One of Europe's first skyscrapers, the "Boerentoren", designed by Jan Van Hoenacker, was constructed between 1929 and 1932. With a height of 87,5 m. It was the tallest building on the continent by roof height until in 1940. In 1976, the roof of the tower was raised by 8,30 m, so the current roof height is 95,8 m. In Antwerp only the tower of the cathedral is higher.
