    Tips

    July 8, 2025

    The history of the Munnikenhof estate in Grijpskerke clearly illustrates how rich people could become from maritime trade. The country estate was founded in the 13th century by monks from the Norbertine Abbey of Middelburg. In 1575, Balthasar de Moucheron purchased the estate. He was a co-founder of the Veerse Compagnie (Veer Company) and later the Dutch East India Company (VOC).

    Frederik van Roubergen followed later. He bought the property in 1623 from Jacob Cats. The plantation owner and slave trader was rich in wealth and significantly expanded the estate.

    Michiel de Ruyter also amassed wealth by trading during his sea voyages. Yet he remained a simple man. Around 1650, he purchased a property at Nieuwstraat 13 in Vlissingen.

    The castle now serves as a B&B.

    Extensive historical information is available on-site or see the photo.
