Sint-Amands (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌsɪnt ɑˈmɑnts]) is a town and a former municipality located in the Belgian province of Antwerp, Belgium.
[3] The first written reference to Sint-Amands dates to 822, in a document authored by Louis the Pious, king of Carolingian Empire at that time and son of Charlemagne.
During this time period, a large area of the right bank of the Scheldt river was incorporated into the Flanders region and Sint-Amands became a separate seigneury.
Prior to the construction of the Brussels-Willebroek canal, Sint-Amands saw heavy shipping traffic with barges heading to Brussels, Mechelen, Antwerp, Dendermonde, and Temse.
Bikers can leave the track in Sint-Amands and follow the scenic route up North on the banks of the river Scheldt.
Émile Adolphe Gustave Verhaeren (Dutch: [vərˈɦaːrən]; 21 May 1855 – 27 November 1916) was a Belgian poet who wrote in the French language and an art critic.
