Zeeland

Zeeland stretches from the North Sea coast to the Belgian border, encompassing low-lying islands, tidal estuaries and engineered delta country. Water defines this southwestern corner of the Netherlands: the Oosterschelde is a vast tidal inlet, while the Westerschelde remains an important shipping route to Antwerp. The Delta Works, built in response to the 1953 North Sea flood, are among the country’s most significant flood-defence projects. Middelburg, the provincial capital on Walcheren, recalls Zeeland’s maritime past through its historic centre and former Dutch East India Company connections.
