The Wijck area lies between the railwaystation and the Maas, river opposite the old citycentre. The name Wijck comes originally from the Roman word ' Vicus', meaning suburb. This area at the eastern side of the river Maas was a suburban area in the Roman times.
In Wijck you can find some wide avenues lined with trees and large houses. Walking here gives you the feeling being in Brussel or Paris. In Wijck you can find some interesting restaurants and shops. At saturday there is a market at the Stationsstraat.
Wijck was also known by a brewery, where they produced the so-called Wieckse Witte (closed down in 2003). Its one of my favourite beers, though I red in a report 'sweetish, with an unpleasant chewing-gum flavour'. Just try it youself.. Leave a Comment Directions: Eastbank of the Maas.

The Sint Martinushofje, a garden surrounded by 18 th century houses, was build to accommodate the towns poor elderly women, who couldn’t support themselves. The Martinushofje is situated in the Grote looijersstraat, a street that has many big imposing houses, that – in those days - belonged to the wealthy owners of the towns tan-yard. That’s why the street is called looijersstaat (tanner street). When you enter the gate of the Martinushofje, you can see a stone tablet at the top of it, depicting St. Martinus, who - as you may know- shared his coat with a begger. This act of charity symbolizes the charity received by the poor elderly women. The text underneath the picture says “MartInI pUra LiberalItate ConDItUR,” which means something like “fouded by the generous Martinus.” The capital letters together form the year 1715, the year in which these small houses were build Leave a Comment Address: Grote Looijersstraat 27Directions: Jekerkwartier
