Villa Burm

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Castle" is actually a villa, but is nevertheless beautifully situated on the banks of the Scheldt. Until 1900 there was a shipyard here, then the entrepreneur Eugène Burm built a timber trade and specialized in wood for the construction of railways, telephones and telegraphs. The villa from 1902 is reminiscent of an English cottage and is situated in a spacious and well-kept garden, in which a number of company buildings in an adapted style are also included.

Denderbelle Lock and Weir

Highlight • Bridge

The lock and weir complex also includes a fish passage in the form of a basin staircase. This is a construction that ensures that the fish can swim past the weir without any problems.

This section of towpath along the Dender River starts after the Wieze Bridge and runs until just before the Denderbelle lock. It's part of the Lower Dender nature reserve between Aalst and Dendermonde. During the season, you can spot storks there.
