Middelburg Abbey, Former Premonstratensian abbey in Middelburg, Netherlands
The abbey complex features four tall towers, extensive cloisters, and a central square surrounded by medieval architectural elements and stone walls.
Founded in 1123 when Premonstratensian canons from Antwerp established a monastery on a former Carolingian stronghold site in Zeeland.
The Zeeuws Museum within the abbey displays regional artifacts and exhibitions that showcase the history and traditions of the Zeeland province.
The Lange Jan tower offers public access daily from 11:00 to 15:30, with adult tickets priced at 4 euros for climbing 207 steps.
The complex now serves multiple functions, housing government offices, university facilities, and two Protestant churches known as Abbey Churches.
