Description

Merksem resident Tim Marschang is mad about street art, which is why he gathered several street artists, asking them to revamp the somewhat grey walls of Merksem. St. Bartholomeusstraat was one of the lucky ones. Eight large murals have brightened up the streetscape here since 2017.

Cycle past the street art wall and you will come upon one of two docks in Merksem. This is the Groot Dok or Large Dock, the Klein Dok or Small Dock is just up the road. The docks date from 1874-1876. At the time, Merksem evolved from a rural village to an industrialised municipality in the shadow of the port. Today the industry in the district still defines the look and feel of 't Dokske, as this area is called.
