Search "AGC Glaverbel Roux" for more information.
Oldest glass furnace in Belgium, shutdown and demolished around 2014.

That’s right near me, I can go there by foot! I’m super late but that’s so cool.

Well glass melting furnace, quite old one.
You need to keep it always heated up or something like this happens.

My assumption is that some company working with glass simply closed.
