The LocHal Library is one of the most iconic landmarks in Tilburg — a symbol of creativity,
learning, and modern architecture. Once an old railway locomotive hall, it has been
transformed into a stunning public library and cultural center that attracts thousands of
visitors every week. Located in the heart of the Spoorzone district, LocHal blends industrial
heritage with innovative design. Inside, you’ll find a massive reading area, creative labs,
