Fort Rammekens
A coastal defense fort completed in 1547, one of the oldest sea forts in Western Europe, surrounded by a nature reserve.
The fort was built on the orders of Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire to guard the waterways leading to Middelburg and Antwerp. It was later seized by the English and held as a pledge. Today it is surrounded by a wetland nature reserve. The interior is open for visits in summer, with exhibitions and temporary art events. From Vlissingen or Middelburg, it is about 20 minutes by bike.
