Heritage Day Flanders 2025 - The Phoebus Foundation

During Heritage Day Flanders we took a look behind the scenes at Den Argentin, where we were delighted to welcome more than 200 visitors. Surrounded by monumental cranes, sturdy tractors and old shunting wagons, they experienced the atmosphere of the harbour as it once was. Thanks to our enthusiastic volunteers and their personal anecdotes, visitors gained a unique insight into the maritime and logistical heritage of the port. Take a look back at this special day!
