Bezoekerscentrum Vissersdorp zonder Haven

The village of Boekhoute had a fishing port until 1952. Thanks to the sea channel"De Braakman\\\", which connected the village with the Western Scheldt, the fishing industry flourished and grew. The silting of the sea channel"De Braakman\\\" resulted in the Boekhoutse harbor being closed off from the sea for good. Visitor center'Boekhoute, fishing village without a port\\\' and the old fishing sloop BOU 8 are intended to keep the memory of the rich fishing past alive. TIP: Visit the exhibition'Great Women & the Great War\\\' on the top floor and discover a piece of Dutch history that was written in Boekhoute. In the church you will learn more about'Boekhoute in times of war\\\' For the children: the search with handheld computer'Peetjen Girnaert and Garry Shrimp\\\'. Also ask about the'Smuggling game\\\'
