    A small town with a "nice" shopping street. Small shops and cosiness let the soul dangle here. Just stroll through the side streets.
    The drawbridges, the church and the jetty should be on the survey plan.

      A pearl of Zeeland with the beautiful historical buildings and the harbour.
      Like so many towns in Zeeland, Zierikzee owes its existence, prosperity and prosperity to the lake. Probably in the 10th century, farmers and fishermen, among them a certain Zierik as chief, settled on the Ee, a tributary of the Gouwe. This is how Zierik's Ee came about. The first residents settled on the spot where St. Lievensmonstertoren is now located.


      Later a dam was laid in the Ee and set up as a port. In 1248 Zierikzee received city rights. The 13th and 14th centuries were a golden age for the city. Salt, herring, madder (the only red dye available), and cloth were the main trade items. The safe and strategic location between Holland and Flanders also contributed to the city's influence and wealth.

        A really great city. The streets invite you to linger and stroll.
