Housed in the Sterckshof Castle, the Silver Museum or the Zilvermuseum is home to a collection of timeless silver artifacts and jewelry. The most exquisite possession is the owl shaped goblet that dates back to 1549. Although the Museum’s fabulous collection is a tourist attraction, the building in which it is housed is no less than a monument itself.
The Sterckshof Castle that stands today, did not exist until the 16th century. Until then the site was known as Hoofvunder and was a fortified farm land outside the growing city of Antwerp. Over the years, the farm grew to become the largest in the region and was even protected by a moat. In 1524, this self-sufficient land, was sold to Gerard Sterck, a wealthy banker and the chief financer of Emperor Charles V. Sterck replaced the farm with a magnificent castle, which got nick named Sterckshof.
Although built with vigor and grandeur, as years passed by the Castle was abandoned and left in ruins. It was not until the 1936, that the city of Antwerp took charge of the building and restored it to its former glory to house the Silver Museum. Truly, there could be no better place than the Sterckshof Castle to showcase the delicate silver artifacts.

Districtshuis, the City Hall of Deurne, is the first point of contact for its citizens. Since political decentralization in 2001, it has played an important role in the district's life. Districtshuis manages the local streets, cultural festivals, sports, youth and senior activities and communications for the community.

Both the Sterckshof and Rivierenhof Castle make for a perfect trip with friends and family on a warm summer’s day. If you enjoy picnics, greenery with a backdrop from the medieval era, the Rivierenhof Castle is the place to be.
A popular destination for the locals on weekends, the Rivierenhof Castle is the perfect excuse for a long bike ride. Sharing the same history as the Sterckshof, the Rivierenhof Castle is equally splendid and worth a visit.
During the middle ages, the grounds that now hold the Rivierenhof Castle were a lush green farm land in the outskirts of the city. The farm land known as Hooftvunder soon grew to become the largest farm in the region. While the turn of the century saw a part of the farm sold to the Stercks, a wealthy banker family, the other part of it was purchased by yet another wealthy merchant who built a gorgeous country house and an orchard.
As years passed by, the land was purchased by the Cogel Family who built, in place of the country house, an elaborate and opulent castle that stands to this day. Around this Castle was maintained a beautiful garden, which has now become the largest park in Antwerp.

Rivierenhof Garden, Antwerp’s largest park, houses the Sterckshof Museum and castle, several sports fields, an amphitheater, the family farm Schranshoeve, a beautiful rose garden designed in 1926, the Witches Tale House, chess tables and more. It is a great place to have fun with the entire family.
