Zemst: Five Sections Between Vilvoorde and Mechelen
With 23,369 inhabitants (2025) over 43.23 km² (density 540.59 inh./km²), Zemst is a Flemish municipality of Flemish Brabant, located between Vilvoorde and Mechelen and 20 km from Brussels. Created by the 1977 merger it groups five sections: Zemst, Eppegem, Elewijt, Hofstade and Weerde.
Sections and profile
Zemst centre : Historic municipal core, mixing terraced houses and subdivisions.
Hofstade : Section home to the Hofstade provincial domain, which houses a sports centre and a museum — a major commune attraction.
Eppegem, Elewijt, Weerde : More rural and residential sections, housing mixing family homes and farms.
Historic infrastructure
The commune is crossed by the E19 motorway (Brussels-Antwerp axis), by Belgium’s first national road (N1), and by the country’s oldest railway line. This concentration of historic infrastructure makes it a major communications hub.
Memorial
On 19 August 1914, a German military unit executed 14 civilians during the invasion — locally commemorated.
Heritage
The municipal coat of arms, granted in 1954 and 1981, features two golden arrows crossed in saltire.
