With more than 400 years of maritime history and innovation, Scheldekwartier is the beating heart of the new Vlissingen. In this former maritime and industrial stronghold, where the sound of shipbuilders once filled the harbor, a vibrant city district is now emerging that connects past and future: from maritime heritage to urban innovation and waterfront living.

The metamorphosis comes to life in three distinctive zones. In the Scheldestraat, around the historic Dock of Perry, monuments tell their stories while modern catering brings new life. The Scheldewerf, with its industrial buildings, tells the story of Vlissingen's maritime past: the imposing Machinefabriek where ship engines were once developed, the Timmerfabriek that was given a second life as an atmospheric hotel and the iconic Schelde crane that overlooks the water as a silent sentinel.

Between Will Ruysstraat and Paul Krugerstraat, a new urban community has sprung up where sustainable townhouses and apartments continue Vlissingen's maritime character. This mix of history and innovation makes the Scheldekwartier a unique place where the past is palpable, but the future is embraced - a place where the constant coming and going of ships determines the rhythm of city life. An area with a contemporary energy.
