Doel, Historical village near Scheldt River in Beveren, Belgium.
The village sits on the left bank of the Scheldt River at an elevation of 2 meters, near the Dutch border in East Flanders.
First documented in 1267 as De Doolen, Doel transformed from a medieval peatland into a prominent turf extraction site during the thirteenth century.
Street art and murals throughout the village document the community's determination to preserve their heritage against industrial development plans.
The area can be explored by foot or bicycle, though visitors should note that many buildings remain vacant due to population decline.
The village maintains its original structures despite decades of proposed demolition plans for the expansion of the Port of Antwerp.
