Vrasene is a village in the municipality of Beveren in the Belgian province of East Flanders.

[2] Vrasene is located on a hill which is a remnant of an old dune stretching from Stekene to Zwijndrecht.

In 1136, the monastery of Salegem was founded in Vrasene and the monks started to cultivate the land.

During the occupation, the village was part of the so-called Etappegebiet, a military area where 188 bunkers were constructed to guard against a British invasion or Dutch attack.

In September 1918, the entire male population was held hostage in the church after a local police officer who allegedly collaborated with the Germans was murdered.
