Cureghem (
French) or Kuregem (
Dutch) is a district of
Anderlecht, a
municipality of
Brussels, Belgium. Located in the east of Anderlecht,[1] it is one of this municipality's largest and most populated districts. It developed during the
Industrial Revolution along the
Brussels–Charleroi Canal and is currently in a fragile social and economic situation due to the decline of its economy and the poor quality of some of its housing.
Three listed buildings—the former Atlas Brewery,[8] the old power station, and the former Moulart Mill[9]— are testaments to the old industrial activities next to the waterway.
