Tour of Oostkapelle, Domburg and Westkapelle

Oostkapelle grew considerably after the Second World War by developing as a seaside resort, following in the example of Domburg. Westkapelle suffered a different fate: it was almost completely wiped off the map by a bombing during the liberation after the Second World War. A clear reminder of the liberation is the Sherman tank that still stands on the dike. Close to the lighthouse 'Hoge Licht', for which Westkapelle is known, are also the graves of the war victims. You also drive through the Manteling nature reserve with Westhove Castle. The castle was mentioned in 1277 as the property of the Middelburg Abbey, but existed much longer. The robust castle is a feast for the eyes with the green, carefully landscaped estate surrounding it.
