    The Wijnants-Lowette steam syrup factory is located on Stationsstraat.



    The factory was founded by Guillaume Wijnants who bought land for that purpose in 1878. A steam engine was built in 1898 and a steam generator in 1899. In 1901 the old warehouse was demolished and brick silos were built. A warehouse was built in 1907, and a steam boiler was built in 1910-1911. The office dates from 1912. In 1927 there was talk of a factory chimney. In 1939 the factory was again enlarged and in 1952 it merged with the Lowette syrup factory in Bommershoven. This is how the Wijnants-Lowette company was born. 18 workers worked there in 1950.



    The company was discontinued in the early 1960s. The municipality of Borgloon bought the buildings and established its Technical Service in them. The chimney was demolished in 1982.



    Nowadays you can visit Bistro de Smaakfabriek in the building.
