The map
Vilvoorde lies directly north of Brussels, and its map is shaped by lines of transport. The Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal runs through the town, lined with docks and industrial sites, and the Zenne river follows a similar course. The Brussels ring motorway crosses the valley here on a long viaduct, one of the most visible structures in the area.
The historic centre, with the Church of Our Lady and a network of older streets, sits beside the waterways. Vilvoorde also has an international connection: the English Bible translator William Tyndale was imprisoned in the castle here and executed in 1536, and a memorial in the town remembers him.
A Vilvoorde map poster shows a place in transition. The dense old centre, the wide canal with its industrial banks, newer residential developments on former industrial land, and the strong curve of the ring road all fit onto one sheet. It is a map of how a medieval town adapted to the industrial age.
The wide canal between Brussels and the Scheldt runs through the town, its straight channel and docks forming the most dominant feature on the map.
The Brussels ring motorway crosses the valley on a long viaduct, drawing a strong line high above the canal and the river.
The historic streets around the Church of Our Lady form a compact, irregular core beside the waterways, in contrast to the large industrial plots nearby.
