Brasschaat, Municipality in Antwerp Province, Belgium
Brasschaat is a municipality in Antwerp Province situated northeast of Antwerp city within the Flemish administrative area. The settlement features numerous parks and green spaces that define its landscape and character.
The area was originally settled by Celtic inhabitants, later occupied by Belgae tribes, and then marked by Roman development when they constructed a major road through the territory. These early influences shaped the region's character over many centuries.
The village celebrates Dorpsdag on the first Sunday of September with a traditional procession that marks the consecration of the main chapel in 1753. This annual gathering shows how residents honor their local roots and community bonds.
The municipality lies northeast of Antwerp and is easily accessible from the city. Local authorities provide electronic services where you can schedule appointments and submit questions to the administration.
