Het Steen: an 800-year-old castle overlooking Antwerp

Hold your event in Antwerp’s oldest building, an 800-year-old castle with stunning views over the Scheldt and the Historic Centre? Yes, you can! From small to large groups, from presentations to relaxation: spaces of Het Steen offer many possibilities.

From castle to visitor centre

Het Steen has had many functions over the centuries: from castle to prison and from sawmill to maritime museum. After an extensive renovation, the building on the Scheldt shines today as a visitor centre, cruise terminal and attraction. A wonderful combination of old and new, in the centre of Antwerp, near numerous restaurants, cafés, hotels and museums.

Spacious cruise terminal

Antwerp is a well-known mooring point for sea and river cruises. If there is no cruise ship docked, you can rent the cruise. The views are sure to impress your attendees, and the open nature of this shell space allows for any atmosphere and setting. Standing tables and chairs are available, and we are happy to personalise the three fixed screens for you.

The Antwerp Story

Follow the experience trail through eleven rooms, discover the history of Antwerp and get to know the districts, the museums and famous people from Antwerp. Give your participants a unique experience and book a visit to The Antwerp Story exclusively for your group. 75 people can visit the attraction at once. Meanwhile, you can welcome and entertain the other visitors at the cruise terminal.

Available: every day from 6pm, only bookable in combination with the cruise terminal.

Lounge area with outdoor terrace

After the opening hours of The Antwerp Story, you can rent the attraction’s lounge area in combination with the outdoor terrace. Thanks to the presence of tables, stools and patio chairs, this space is the perfect location to drink a toast with your guests, while enjoying a beautiful view of the Scheldt, Left Bank and downtown.
