Luchonda Says: Veere is a cosy historical village, built on the shore of the Western ScheldtTouristicaly popular in disproportion of it's size. But that is the charm of this romantic villageThe townhall itself, a highlight in the small city, located near the sea. I just couldn't get enough...
Luchonda Says: Yes indeed a big church for such a small village. Tall windows have been filled with bricks ' see the difference in the picture 'Most probably it was caused by it's war history and the numberous incidents caused by the strong coastal winds.
Luchonda Says: The great Church a big Gothic church with an unfinished tower in Veere dates from 1348. As from 1811 Napoleon Bonaparte, the french emperor even used the Church as a hospital for his soldiers. Later on it was a "house for beggars" Actualy it only can be visited in the peak...
Luchonda Says: The Campveerse Toren, builded around 1500 as fortification of the harbour. A place with a romantic view on the river. The place were you can hire a tourist excursion on the lake, a place with a nice restaurant and hotel, only pricewise interesting if you can manage special...
Luchonda Says: The Scottish trading house and actualy a museum. The scottish house and staple place for import of wool buided in the 17th century by rich traders. Veere was a perfect place trading goods between the former britisch imperium and the golden years of the Netherlands. The...

ATLC Says: This lunchroom/bakery has a heated terrace which wasn't a luxury on the first day of spring 2003. And again in spring 2006 and 2008. The interior has been modernised and outside there are appealing red blankets folded over the chairs for those that do want to sit...

Private horse taxi and sailing boats
Luchonda Says: You have several ways to stroll in this romantic village. Traditionally your two feet, a bike, although i didn't see a "bike to hire" shop, so take your own bike. But i saw this horse taxi in the mainstreet. I think it was a private, and local transport.Second picture :...
Luchonda Says: The shortest way to Middelburg, Domburg and finally Veere in Sealand will take about 1hr.30minutes. But than you have to cross the Westernscheldetunnel, a tunnel to cross- 6.600 meters with your lights on - Tax 4.60 euro one way. But i is really the shortest way; If you take...
Oma's Snoepwinkel: Visit the Sweet Shop
ATLC Says: Every visit to Veere is not complete without a small purchase at the Grandma's sweet shop where two lovely ladies in old-fashioned aprons help you choose some goodies from big glass pots. Liquorice, Zeeuwse babbelaars, honey sweets and loads of other sweets. Big...
Luchonda Says: Wolfert and Mary cellar ! A souvenir shop. Watch out your steps, located at the main street of Veerle.In previous times it was a basement restaurant called 'In den Struyskelder" But times they are changing. I can imagine that the rent prices are one of the highest in the...
Luchonda Says: Veere was an important harbour at the 17th century. Within the fortified walls the city counted 750 houses, reduced today at the number of nearly 300.On jan 2007 the village counted about 1627 inhabitants. On my picture you will see a lot of birds, if you count them as usual...
Luchonda Says: Strolling around in this village is sometimes keeping your head up:Many buildings or monuments have an historical symbol- In the main street of Veere :- The coeren blom : dan die het coren doet wassen.....- Arbeidershuysken .... symbolising the harbour workers in the golden...
ATLC Says: I don't know what red diesel is, but the Yachting club website says that this year the harbour inspection will be more alert on the use of red diesel. So I gather this is forbidden. Probably because of danger for nature.VT member truus_s writes me:Red diesel is used in...
ATLC Says: Veere is a day trip if you come by car or boat. Of course two days or more is ok too, but basically you will have seen everything in a day or even less.But it is worthwhile to send postcards from Veere. The place is hugely picturesque.
ATLC Says: Those medievals were all for the harsh treatment. You broke a rule? Chained to the town hall you would be, if caught.On the corner of the town hall you find this little place with even a step to stand on.I wish I could remember what our guide told us some two years ago what...
Sailing/Boating/Biking/Strolling
Luchonda Says: The "Veerse lake" a nice place to visit if you like sailing and boating.But never a place comparing to Bruinisse, Zierikzee where sailing is a real topic, a relaxing moment with business partners and friends.
Luchonda Says: A nice romantic location, not that far from Middelburg, a place in Sealand The environment, the coast, the many typical shops and monuments.Just strolling around on a lazy sunday afternoon, before the touristic peak season
OlafS Says: In today's modern society you'd expect to be able to get money "from the wall" everywhere. So did I. But no matter how much I searched for a money dispenser (I forgot the English name for those), I couldn't find one. That left me with not enough money to visit the big...

Zeeland, where water en earth are in constant war
Veere, the pearl of Zeeland, I would recommend as base for foreign visitors to explore the province that coexists with the (sea)water, yet always has to be aware of the danger of it. Veere is a well...
