Gastel Sfeer Cafe
Highlight • Cafe
Where the ferry from Oud Gastel to Kruisland used to dock, you will now find Gastel Sfeer. A cozy brown café where you can drop in for a cup of coffee or a drink while cycling or walking, but also for lunch, dinner or a snack in between. The beautiful location on the Roosendaalsche Vliet and the view over Oud Gastel and the polders make Gastel Sfeer an attraction for day trippers and active people.
History
The Gastelsveer has been a household name in the region since 1791. Situated along the Roosendaalsche Vliet on the Gastelse Dijk, it is a place where countless people crossed over with the ferry and later with the horse-drawn tram. Even Queen Wilhelmina visited here during an inspection after the Second World War, in short, a place full of history. You can feel that history everywhere, from the bar to the terrace. The Gastelsveer has been a stop, rest area and meeting place for young and old for over 230 years!

Fort Henricus
Highlight • Historical Site
Historical significance: Fort Henricus in Steenbergen could accommodate up to 450 soldiers. With 11.5 hectares, this Hendrik was one of the largest forts in the Southwest of the Dutch Republic! Fort Henricus was recently renovated, so that hikers and water sports enthusiasts can browse and relax to their heart's content. Climb the lookout tower at the entrance to the fort and enjoy the view of the most beautiful spot on the Vliet!
A plaything between the Spanish troops and the Dutch, that was Steenbergen. Time and again, the fortified town was conquered and plundered. Until 1627, because from then on Fort Henricus in Steenbergen protected the harbour and the lock. That lock was important for the inundation. The hornworks, bastions and moat of Fort Henricus made Steenbergen an impregnable fortress. In 1809, Napoleon prepared his cannons for the last time, out of fear of a British invasion. Fort Henricus was demolished shortly afterwards.

St. Gummarus Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The current St. Gummarus Church replaced a church from the early nineteenth century that had become too small. The church is one of the most important later works in the oeuvre of Dr. P.J.H. Cuypers, although the design was modified and carried out by his son Joseph Cuypers (1861 - 1949) and Jan Stuyt (1868 - 1934). The church was severely damaged by war in 1944. Restoration followed in 1949, the tower was rebuilt in 1960.
