The Oosterschenge is now a relatively small, tranquil waterway, but that used to be different. It used to be an inlet, important for shipping. But in the 18th century, part of the channel was reclaimed. This 'residual channel,' the Oosterschenge, remained. Long ago, the Schenge, a wide channel that separated the island of Wolphaartsdijk from Zuid-Beveland, flowed here. Ships used this route to and from Goes. It was therefore an important waterway for trade and transport in the region. But as is often the case in Zeeland, the landscape slowly changed. Due to siltation, the water became increasingly shallow, making it more difficult for ships to navigate. In the eighteenth century, it was therefore decided to reclaim part of the inlet. This created new agricultural land. In 1809, the diking of the Wilhelminapolder was completed. With this, a large part of the old inlet disappeared behind the dikes. What remained was a wide residual channel: the Oosterschenge.

Beautiful to see and gives the tunnel wall added value and a neat impression.

The date of the Vliedberg is 11th century. The Vliedberg Wissekerke is 2.5 meters high, has a diameter of +50 meters and is partly surrounded by a ditch or moat. The area around the Vliedberg is a protected area. Wissekerke, a settlement from the eleventh century, whose foundation was founded by a certain Lord Wisse from the noble Van Schenge family, never grew into a village. But it still had a church, standing on a flattened hill, which is still clearly recognizable in the landscape, not only as a hill, but also as a cemetery, which is still in use. The church was demolished in 1809 due to dilapidation and the tower was demolished in 1872. The cemetery still contains a number of priest tombs and in their immediate vicinity the tomb of the preacher Egter van Wissenkerke, with part of his family, from the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century. The pastor was a craft lord of both villages during his lifetime. The Catholics and Protestants from Wissenkerke and 's-Heer Hendrikskinderen show that they get along well with each other in the cemetery. Wissekerke used to be on the post road from Vlissingen to Steenbergen. It seems that even Napoleon used this road. That is why the old highway between Wissekerke and 's-Heer Hendrikskinderen was named after him, the Napoleon Route. However, evil tongues claim that the emperor never drove along this road.
