The Center Albert ( Dutch : Albertcentrum , German : Albert-Zentrum ) is a high-rise in the Belgian city of Charleroi .
The building, completed in 1966, has a height of 82 meters spread over 25 floors, making it one of the first skyscrapers in the nation to exceed 80 meters. It is the tallest building in the city and the tallest skyscraper in the province of Hainaut , only the Notre-Dame de Tournai is exactly one meter higher than the Center Albert. It is also one of the tallest buildings in Belgium .
The city's population was critical of the building for a long time, but over time and after a thorough renovation in 2005 it was able to gain points again.
