Not every Kempen village has a high-speed rail station nearby. Brecht does: Noorderkempen station is located just a few kilometres from Sint-Job.

In the city fast

The connection to Antwerp Central takes about half an hour. For commuters, it is a real alternative to the traffic jams on the E19, with a spacious car park at the station.

What this means for the village

The smooth connection makes the municipality attractive for young families who work in the city but want to live in the countryside. You can see this reflected in the schools, the sports clubs, and the bustle on the Handelslei.

On the way to the train

Customers taking the train often pick up their breakfast early from us. A coffee, a croissant, or a breakfast roll: it is ready from 06:30.
