    Aha: In the Netherlands, a Vliedberg is an artificial hill that was built in the early Middle Ages as an escape hill during floods. Vliedbergs can be found in the Dutch province of Zeeland, especially on the Walcheren peninsula.

    Now I'm dreaming of a cozy full moon night - without mosquitoes and circling it seven times. That brings luck!

      Sint Jan ter Heere has become a small hamlet and is located between Westkapelle and Aierterkerke. A handful of workers' houses and farms from the 19th century, a few street names and a Vliedberg remind us of what once was. Sint Jan ter Heere has a history that goes back to the 7th century and had its own monastery in the 13th century, the Benedictine monastery "Porta Coeli".
      There was also a commandery, which is an estate controlled by a commander of a knighthood.
      Commandery Kerckwerve hosted the members of the Sovereign Military Hospitalier Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta. The monastery has disappeared and a few centuries later an estate was built, which was given the name "Hazenhof".

          There's a remarkable story behind refuge mounds. The name "vliedberg" suggests they were used for refuge during high tide. But this name is actually incorrect: most refuge mounds were built as dwelling mounds or as a platform for a motte-and-bailey castle (defense tower).
          In the twelfth century, there were hundreds of refuge mounds in Zeeland. Today, only about forty remain. By managing refuge mounds, Zeeland's cultural history is preserved.
