Kapelle-Op-Den-Bos

With the Zeekanaal as a foothold

At the heart of the commune, the beautiful facade of The Old Rectory catches the eye. The protected monument from the 17th century was once built as a nunnery and today serves as a tourist information point and youth and cultural center. On the Brussels-Scheldt Canal you can join a canal cruise, with a fixed embarkation and disembarkation point at the Vaartdijk. In Ramsdonk, the statue Prima Mater recalls a young Jewish mother who helped her child escape from a train to Auschwitz, poignant heritage that is given a quiet place in the village center.

"From on the water of the Sea Canal, the landscape glides by."
