Last update: 11-03-2019 A short visit of Temse Temse is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful towns in the Waasland. The town was several times the decor of numerous TV feuilletons (with Man and Macht, Silent Waters) and all the great (Belgian) cartoonists let their heroes wander around in Temse. No coincidence, Temse breathes past, present and future. The monumental old town hall of Temse, a pearl in eclectic style, and the gothic and neogothic O-L-V-kerk are eye-catchers of the marketplace. The quirky shape of the church tower has been a landmark in the region for centuries. Temse was also inextricably linked to the Boelwerf (1829-1994). On that site arose new housing establish- ments , SMEs and the new town hall - AC the Zaat. Hereby the Temse skyline has been redrawn for a few years now. Along the quay you will find a lot of sculptures such as the Tuysscher and the Azijnzeker (spot names of the inhabitants of Temse) and the Kaailopers (including the Mekker, the Schele Wringer, brown Pear, and other dock workers from before WW II). Even a switch to ‘Buitenland’ and the oldest lock of the country in Weert are within walking distance via the When: two bridges over the Scheldt. Throughout the year.
