With VIJDLAND you will discover the (living) world of Joos Vijd, commissioner of the world-famous Mystic Lamb and above all a born Beverener. This multimedia experience takes you past breathtaking castles and gardens, a bustling world port and embanked polders.
In 5 video and 5 audio clips, Flemish celebrities, together with contemporary descendants of Joos Vijd, interpret the wonderful history of the Land of Waas.
Beveren is one of the largest rural municipalities in Flanders and has a world-class port on its territory. The fragile balance between man, nature and economy emerges here today as nowhere else. And in the time of Joos Vijd this was no different. So be sure to come and discover Vijland.
