    Beautiful country house in a very nice area that you should visit when you are in the area.
    The house is inhabited and is regularly open to the public, for example on monument days.

    A field redoubt converted into a country house, which served as a defensive structure during the Eighty Years' War. It was a square earthen fortress, surrounded by earthen walls and a moat for defense against the Spaniards.

    The redoubt was used until 1762, after which it served as a country estate. Later a country house was built on the site of the fort. A fruit growing company was established there between 1920 and 1995. Today it is a nature reserve of 3 hectares owned by the Zeeuwse Landschap Foundation, which has restored the site.

    The Kruisdijkschans or Kruisschans was part of the State-Spanish Lines that is located between Heille and the fortified city of Sluis.
