Veere

The municipality stretches along the Veerse Meer lagoon, featuring a town center with preserved merchant houses, a marina, and medieval architecture.

From 1541 to 1799, Veere functioned as Scotland's primary wool trading port in the Netherlands, leading to the construction of the Scottish House near the harbor.

The town hall from 1474 contains a carillon with 48 bells that sound through the streets during scheduled concerts throughout the year.

Visitors access Veere by taking bus 53 from Middelburg or cycling 5 kilometers north along marked paths from the nearest train station.

The Grote Kerk replaced its tall windows with smaller ones due to strong coastal winds that repeatedly damaged the original glass panes.
