Description

The history of Halsteren goes back centuries and derived its raison d'être at the time from the fact that it was a peat extraction village. The oldest mention dates from 1272, when the town was still called Halstert, but names such as Haltre and Halstre have also been found in writing. A parish was founded in the thirteenth century and there must have been a small harbour. The first church of the town was located between Halsteren and Tholen, but was swallowed by the water during the All Saints' Flood in 1570. One of the historic buildings that can still be seen in Halsteren are the old Town Hall in the center, which was built in 1633 .
The first sight is still in Halsteren and is the windmill Sancto Antonio. This mill is also known as the Sint-Antonius mill and was built in 1817. The belt mill has been used for many years to grind grain professionally. From 2004 to 2006 this was done with one rod, after the inner rod was broken. In 2012, the mill was thoroughly restored and a new one was appointed after the death of the old miller. This usually runs the Sancto Antonio on Sunday afternoons. Via WV Scheldt on the edge of Halsteren Halsteren you cross the water and make a circumferential line around Bergen op Zoom.
You will then pass the Lievensberg estate, which is 127 hectares in size. This beautiful wooded area consists mainly of deciduous and coniferous forest and a 25-hectare heath. Due to its favorable location, the estate is frequented by walkers. The area is landscaped park-like with picnic areas, a heath garden and a pond. More than thirty types of heather plants can be found in the heath garden. You will then arrive at the Wouwse Plantage. The Wouwse Plantage is a forest south of the village that is also called Wouwse Plantage. This beautiful forest area covers approximately 74 hectares of land and has been owned by the Staatsbosbeheer since 1996. The Wouwse Plantage estate is located near the forest and Golfclub Wouwse Plantage is located on the edge.
