Sight 6: Hoofdsynagoge van de Israelisch Orthodoxe Gemeente Machsiké Hadass
The Machsike Hadass is a Haredi Jewish community in Antwerp. The name comes from Hebrew and means "Keepers of the Commandment" or also "Upholders of the Faith".

Sight 7: 't Groen Kwartier
In the Haringrode district in the Antwerp district, on the border with Zurenborg and Berchem is' t Groen Kwartier. The name Groen Kwartier refers to the old Military Hospital Antwerp on the Marialei, where military personnel used to be cared for and the adjacent Arsenal on Lange Leemstraat that together replaced the Fortje 4 from 1851 demolished in 1885. The name was composed of military Hospital Kwartier and the green character it has now obtained through the city of Antwerp. The large site was empty for a long time. Since it was no longer used by the soldiers, the Higher Institute of Fine Arts was able to use part of this beautiful building to guide artists at the top level. From 2010, the site was transformed into 't Groen Kwartier, a new residential area for 400 families, thanks to a public-private partnership between Beel & Achtergael Architects, collective Noord, 360 architects, landscape architect Michel Desvigne, and AG Vespa, Matexi and Caaap. The first residents went in January 2011.
