Be surprised by this valuable heritage gem in the middle of industry and natural beauty. Experience the history of the sixteenth century defensive structure in an interactive experience centre. Visit the cozy brasserie and walk along the dike to spot ocean giants from all over the world. Feel the contrast between the busy port activity and the tranquility of the beautiful Beverse polders.

The officer's residence dates from the French period (1794 - 1815).
It was built on the site where the fort's church originally stood.
The property has undergone several renovations throughout its history and has visibly changed its appearance. Around 1905, a floor was added to the original low building.
During the quarantine period (1849 - 1952) the medical staff of the hospital stayed here.
Later, the families of Belgian soldiers who spent their holidays in the Liefkenshoek fort and the Sint-Anna-Ketenispolder behind it stayed in this building.
