Tour of Grijpskerke, Domburg and Vrouwenpolder

Your route starts at Duinhotel Breezand. National Landscape Walcheren shows you the best of what Zeeland has to offer. The oldest parts of the landscape are the historic row of dunes, the creek ridges and pools that are formed by low, open basin areas. These beautiful natural features remind you that the area once belonged to the sea. Along the way you will also come across Westhove Castle. With beautiful towers, the robust castle and the green, carefully landscaped estate surrounding it are a feast for the eyes. The castle was already mentioned in 1277 as the property of the Middelburg Abbey, but it probably existed much longer. The castle has had many owners, because every time a new abbot came, Westhove became the property of the new brother.
