Haasdonk is a village and deelgemeente (sub-municipality) of Beveren in East Flanders, Belgium.

[4] In 1795, during the French period, Haasdonk became the seat of a canton and was governed by the infamous Jan Benedict de Kever.

[4] In 1798, all men between the age of the 20 and 25 were forcibly conscripted in the French Army which resulted in the Peasants' War, and Haasdonk became one of the centres of revolt.

[2] Between 1906 and 1914, Fort van Haasdonk [nl] was constructed as part of the National Redoubt to protect Antwerp against an attack from the west.

The story repeated itself during World War II, and Flak guns were added to fortress.
