Veere
A fairytale harbour town on Veerse Meer, whose medieval Scottish wool trade left behind a Gothic town hall, the Campveerse Tower and a massive Church of Our Lady.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, Veere was the exclusive port for wool trade with Scotland. Merchant houses such as the Scottish House survive in town, along with a small town hall with a wooden spire and the 15th-century Campveerse Tower on the harbour, now a hotel restaurant. The Church of Our Lady is far larger than the small town would suggest, and was once used as barracks and stables by Napoleon's troops. The old town is small and can be walked in 1 to 2 hours; the harbour has cafés and seafood restaurants. Veere is about 7 km from Middelburg and can be reached by bicycle or bus.
