In Zwevegem, along the Bossuit-Kortrijk canal, you will find a cultural and leisure center on the site of a former power station. There is something to dive, climb, kayak and even enjoy a beer!

Transfo is a former power station. It first supplied electricity in 1911 and remained in use until 2001. The municipality of Zwevegem purchased the site in 2004 for a symbolic euro and is now working on its repurposing. The most spectacular project is perhaps the reconversion of the oil tank, which is to serve as a training location for deep-sea divers.
