DISCOVER THE NEW DISTRICT OF SCHELDE VESTE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF CITY HOTEL BERGEN OP ZOOM

Join an experienced guide from Stadsgidsen Bergen op Zoom on a walk along a piece of old Bergen op Zoom.
The walk will not only take you through the newly developed and largely already implemented urban expansion on the site of the old Nedalco factory (more popularly known as the Spiritus), but will also introduce you to the eventful history of this district. Menno van Coehoorn left his mark here as well as WWII. You will therefore encounter various buildings with military origins along the way, in addition to remnants of the fortifications.

This part of Bergen op Zoom has always been connected to the water. The Zeeland shopping centre used to stand at the head of the harbour. Saltworks and lime kilns once stood here and the van Dordt family of fishermen still live here, catching anchovies in a traditional way.
