HET STEEN
13th century castle on the Scheldt, the oldest building in Antwerp, home to the statue of Semini and The Antwerp Story
Le Steen is the 13th-century castle on the banks of the Scheldt. It's the city's oldest surviving structure (with a number of alterations over the years). An integral part of the old city walls, the Steen became a prison in the Middle Ages, before being enlarged under Charles Quint. Today, it houses the tourist office, a small bar and The Antwerp Story, a small museum dedicated to Antwerp's history, museums and heritage. It provides a very interesting and educational introduction to Antwerp.
