This tower is developed as a small but very fine museum and it can be climbed. From the top you have a magnificent view over the nature reserve.

About this historical landmark:

It is not only birds that flee from the water. The people of Zeeland also had to pack up and leave on several occasions. Time and again the sea pushed in and flooded dikes and villages. Here on the South Coast at least fifteen villages disappeared into the water between 1475 and 1650. And all that remains is the Plompe Toren. The tower once belonged to the prosperous village of Koudekerke. The tower now houses a small but charming information centre of Natuurmonumenten.

Here you can hear the legend about the drowned village of Koudekerke. The tower is also free to climb! In the distance you can often see seals lying on the sandbank. The tower is open daily from 09:00 to 18:00 in the summer. In the winter the tower closes at 17:00.
