The landscape around the Plompe Toren looks peaceful and safe, but it used to be very different. Hundreds of years ago, the tower was the center of the prosperous village of Koudekerke, located on the Oosterschelde. The village disappeared, only the tower survived.

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.
