In 1314, a chapel was founded just outside Serooskerke in the 'Nuwenpoire'. Ten years later it was elevated to the parish church of the village of Niepolre (the current Vrouwenpolder). During the Middle Ages, this village enjoyed great fame as a place of pilgrimage. also an altarpiece from circa 1340 depicting Mary.

Van Borsele and Vrouwenpolder. The oldest polder of Vrouwenpolder was dyked in 1280 by Wolfert I van Borsele, lord of Veere. In 1314, during the reign of Wolfert, a chapel was founded here, which in 1324 was moved to a parish church bequeathed to 'Onze Lieve Vrouwe Mana , the mother of Jesus Since the late 14th century the church has been recognized as a pilgrimage church thanks to an image of Mary associated with miracles. During the Battle of Walcheren in the early years of the Dutch Revolt (1572-1574) the church was badly damaged. The church was demolished

The village at the top of Walcheren was built around 1300 in a newly reclaimed area. It owes its name to a mysterious painting of the Virgin Mary; this Madonna was called Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe van de Polder. The village has long played an important role as a place of pilgrimage due to miracles that occurred in the village. In 1588 Fort Den Haak was built to cover the entrance to the Veerse Gat. The fort was destroyed in 1809, only an empty level can be seen.

In the 14th century, a chapel in the village of Niepolre was elevated to the status of a parish church. The church was dedicated to Mary, after whom the village was later named. The church was damaged in the Eighty Years' War. The church was then rebuilt using remains of the old walls.

Vrouwenpolder has developed into a real tourist village. Water sports enthusiasts, bathers, but also the people of Seeland themselves like to stay on the wide beaches near the village.
