Beerse

Beerse occupies a sandy lowland in the Kempen region of Flanders. This northeastern corner of Belgium belongs to the wider Campine, a landscape of pine woods, heath and former sandy commons that continues across the Dutch border. The municipality brings together Beerse and Vlimmeren, and its character has been shaped by industry as well as rural settlement. Janssen Pharmaceutica was founded here in 1953 by physician and researcher Paul Janssen, making Beerse an important Belgian centre for pharmaceutical research and manufacturing. Dutch is the everyday language, while Antwerp lies to the west. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Kempen.
