View of Interescaut Power Plant
Highlight • Monument
Historical information: Interescaut is the former Electrabel power station, located along the Scheldt River at the mouth of the Rupel River.
The once-largest coal-fired power station in Europe was inaugurated in 1930.
Steam boilers and turbines continued to operate for seventy years, until electricity production ceased in 2000. In 2016, Electrabel ceased all operations.
In addition to the impressive buildings, such as the old Turbine Hall and the adjacent office buildings, the site covers an area of over 70 hectares on the banks of the Scheldt River.
Pending further development, this industrial site is the ideal location for temporary projects such as film and television shoots, theater, events, and more.
The site has been featured in programs such as De Leeuwenkuil, Cordon 2, De zonen van Van As, De Mol, Ghost Rockers, Campus 12, Undercover 2, and Blind Getrouwd 2020. Interescaut was also chosen as the location for the filming of Homo Universalis (VRT één).

The Armenpoort (before 1797)
Highlight • Historical Site
History:
The Poor Man's Gate, which provides access to the monastery grounds of St. Bernardus Abbey, played an important role in the 18th century for the needy from the wider area around the abbey. There is a chapel attached to the gate in which the poor first attend a mass before receiving alms or bread. In the past, mass distributions of herring and bread to the poor were organized on Maundy Thursday and All Souls' Day. But even in times of famine, such as in 1698, there is a rush here.
