    Hiking

    The Boottrekker stands here as a reminder of the hard labor of times gone by.
    Along the banks of the nearby canal where you can now walk or mountain bike recreationally, a strip used to be provided for ship hunting. This heavy work was carried out by humans or animals.

    A lock house is a home of a lock master or lock keeper. The first lock house was built here in 1573. Due to the war situation (Eighty Years' War), it was eventually destroyed. In 1608 it was replaced by the current monumental building, which today houses a local museum. In front of the Sashuis is the sculpture 'De Boottrekker' by Rik Honsia from 1987.

    Oude Sashuis was built during the Middle Ages (1609) to connect the Brussels-Rupel canal.
    After closing in 1980, the lock house lost its function after 5 centuries. The lock house now houses a museum where photo panels provide information about the history of Klein-Willebroek and the Willebroekse Vaart. Also a pleasant square where you can relax on a terrace or in the park next to the lock house.
