In the late 15th century and the middle of the 16th century, Veere was an important, wealthy port town. In the centre, pretty patrician houses, an imposing town hall and a colossal cathedral are reminders of this golden age. Today, water sports and tourism dominate life around the old brick defence tower Campveerse Toren.
A lavish celebration. Long tables in the elegant fireplace room, with a view of the Veerse Meer on both sides. Ships sail majestically past. That is probably how it was on June 21, 1575. At that time, the French Princess Charlotte de Bourbon and Prince Willem of Orange, the later King of the Netherlands, celebrated their wedding here. Today, the Campveerse Toren restaurant looks almost the same.
The truly royal hall is located in a fortress that is over 500 years old, and from some of the rooms in the romantic hotel and from the restaurant you have a clear view of the inland waters. The building served as a city hostel as early as 1440. And after the royals in the 16th century, many other celebrities followed - Prince Rainier of Monaco and his Grace Patricia dined here on June 30, 1958, for example.
