Middelburg, Provincial capital in Zeeland, Netherlands

Located at an elevation of 3 meters above sea level, Middelburg features a network of historical canals established during the 17th century Dutch Golden Age.

The city originated in the 9th century as a fortified settlement against Viking raids, with a monastery constructed on the site in 844.

The Zeeuws Museum, housed within the city center, presents extensive collections of maritime artifacts, regional costumes, and historical trade documents.

The central railway station connects Middelburg to major Dutch cities through regular intercity trains, making it accessible for visitors and commuters.

Middelburg emerged as the second most important center for the Dutch East India Company after Amsterdam, with merchant houses still lining its canal banks.
