About This Museum

People don't just come to Tramsite Schepdaal for history; they come for the palpable, rumbling ghost of a network that once connected Belgium's soul. You can almost hear the clang of the bell and the hiss of compressed air as you walk among these magnificent, restored giants. It’s a place that feels less like a static museum and more like a lively depot where time has simply paused for a moment. The passion of the volunteers is infectious, making the story of Belgian coastal trams and local transport feel immediate and wonderfully alive.

Collection Highlights

The star is undoubtedly Tram 44, a majestic 'Balletje' from 1931, but don't miss the charming horse-drawn tram from 1885 or the chance to see authentic ticket machines and workshop tools up close.

Visitor Information

It's run by incredibly knowledgeable volunteers, so check their website for open days and special running events—it's worth planning your trip around seeing these beauties in motion.

Architecture & Building

The main building is a faithfully preserved early 20th-century tram depot, all red brick and vast industrial windows, housing the workshops and stalls that feel entirely authentic.
