VIJDLAND

With VIJDLAND, you’ll discover the world of Joos Vijd—commissioner of the world-famous Adoration of the Mystic Lamb and, above all, a true native of Beveren. This multimedia journey takes you past breathtaking castles and gardens, a bustling international port, and reclaimed polders.

In 5 video and 5 audio clips, well-known Flemish figures, together with modern-day descendants of Joos Vijd, recount the marvelous history of the Land of Waas.

Beveren is one of the largest rural municipalities in Flanders and boasts a major international port within its borders. The fragile balance between people, nature, and the economy is evident here today like nowhere else. And in Joos Vijd’s time, it was no different. So be sure to come discover Vijland.
