The Sphinx quarter
-
Industrial and cutting edge
‘This is where the cultural, creative, and enterprising Sphinx quarter will take shape.’ This is the ambition for the plans for the development of the Sphinx area.
Lumière Cinema
Since September 2016, the Lumière cinema has been housed in a beautiful new building in the Sphinx quarter. This national monument was built in 1910 and functioned as a power plant for the manufacturing industry in the Sphinx quarter. The original atmosphere of the power plant – now serving as a restaurant and café – has been preserved through the use of original materials and objects. Showing more than 300 films a year, there is plenty to choose from.
