    On the South Coast, at least fifteen villages disappeared into the water between 1475 and 1650. And all that remained was the Plompe Toren. Once the tower 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. You can also climb the tower for free! In the distance you can often see seals lying on the sandbank

      The Plompe Toren is a historic, late Gothic tower near Burgh-Haamstede on Schouwen-Duiveland, Zeeland. It is the last remnant of the former village of Koudekerke, which sank into the sea in the Middle Ages due to storm surges. The 23-metre-high tower offers visitors a viewing platform with a magnificent view over the Oosterschelde and the surrounding nature. Today it serves as an information centre that provides information about the history of the region, the legend of the 'Lady of Westenschouwen' and nature and coastal protection.
