Visit to the Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde is known worldwide for its education, research, and service in tropical medicine and healthcare in developing countries. Het Instituut pursues those noble goals in two beautiful protected monuments. The main building is an Art Deco pearl from 1933. Here you will find the research department, the hospital, and general services. Already in the hall, you can smell the typical Art Deco style: the high ceiling, the wide stairs in black and gray marble, and the soberly decorated white copper stair railings. Further down the street, you will see an imposing seventeenth-century monastery in expressive Baroque style and traditional limestone style. That is Campus Rochus, the home of hundreds of international students. After thorough renovation, we transformed the serene monastery halls, corridors, and cells into vibrant classrooms, offices, and meeting rooms. Our guide will also let you enjoy the beautiful and unique gardens of the Institute.
