Power Plant Building

The Bâtiment des Forces Motrices (BFM) is a former hydroelectric power plant located in the middle of the Rhone River in Geneva. This industrial building from the late 19th century was originally constructed to supply water to the city’s fountains, households, and factories. Today, the protected historic site has been repurposed as a cultural venue hosting concerts and theatre performances. Inside, there’s a modern wooden-structured hall that provides excellent acoustics and a cozy atmosphere. Thanks to its river location and blend of industrial architecture and cultural activities, you experience a unique space where engineering history meets contemporary culture.
