Burgh-Haamstede is a picturesque village on the island of Schouwen-Duiveland in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It consists of two historic districts, Burgh and Haamstede, which are known for their location near the North Sea coast and their rich history. The surrounding area is characterized by dunes, forests and long sandy beaches, which are a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

Burgh is particularly known for its early medieval ring wall, which was built in the 9th century as a defensive structure against Viking raids. The remains of the wall are still visible today and bear witness to the town's long history. Haamstede is most famous for the 13th-century Haamstede Castle, which is managed by the nature conservation organization Natuurmonumenten. The castle is surrounded by a moat and forests and can be visited on guided tours.

The area offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking and bird watching. In particular, the nearby Boswachterij Westerschouwen forest area, the largest forest area in Zeeland, is a popular destination for nature lovers. The nearby Westerlichttoren, a lighthouse in Nieuw-Haamstede, is also one of the region's attractions .

During the summer months, Burgh-Haamstede attracts many tourists who want to enjoy the beaches and natural beauty of the region. The village also offers various cultural events and markets that combine historical charm with modern tourism.

Moermond Castle, with its wide driveway and beautiful moat, dates back to the 13th century.
The castle is surrounded by the Moermond Estate, a 45-hectare nature reserve.

A piece of history:
The estate was founded around 1229 by Constatijn van Zierikzee. Its most famous residents are Jan van Renesse and Witte van Haamstede.
It was destroyed and rebuilt twice by battles.

The last residents of the castle, the Vriesendorp family, lived at Moermond Castle during World War II. They ensured that the castle was rebuilt. It was only when the castle was struck by the flood disaster in 1953 that they could no longer afford to completely rebuild the estate and the castle in such a short time.

In 1955, the castle and estate were thoroughly restored and returned to their original condition.
