Linkeroever

Linkeroever, which means "left bank" in Dutch, is a district of Antwerp on the left side of the Scheldt River. The area originally belonged to the municipality of Zwijndrecht and was not incorporated into the city of Antwerp until March 19, 1923. Before it took its current name, the place was known as Borger Weert Polder. Today the district has around 16,500 residents. One of the area's most striking buildings is the so-called Chicagoblok, located in Europark, which is considered the district's architectural highlight.
