Sten Castle is the oldest object in the city (1200). Moreover, the castle was the first large-scale building made of stone, thanks to which it received the name "Sten" (translated from the Dutch "stone"). It now houses the Maritime Museum. Near the castle there is a monument to the local folklore hero Long Wapper - a giant who lives in Antwerp and frightens drunkards. Castle address: Steenplein 1
