Zierikzee, Historic port town in Zeeland, Netherlands

The town center contains 568 registered monuments, including three preserved gates from the 14th century and numerous historic merchant houses along narrow streets.

Zierikzee received its municipal rights in 1248 and developed into a significant maritime center through trade connections across the North Sea region.

The Zierikzee Museum, located in a 16th-century building, displays local archaeological artifacts, traditional clothing, and a collection of regional silver pieces.

The town maintains regular boat services from the new harbor for seal watching expeditions and water tours through the Oosterschelde waterway.

The Sint-Lievensmonstertoren, reaching 62 meters high, remains incomplete since 1520 and features an unusual combination of Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements.
