Walking through Brouwershaven

Brouwershaven is a picturesque town on Schouwen-Duiveland. Put on your hiking boots and come and discover the charm of this town for yourself.

Fortifications
The route starts at 'T Swarte Schaep. Grab a terrace with a view of the harbor here before you set off. Brouwershaven was founded around 1285. It was once an important fishing and trading place. So important that Johanna van Beieren even granted city rights to it. At the end of the sixteenth century, the town was given earthen ramparts, which have been preserved on the north and east sides of the town.

Flour mills
During your walk you will come across two corn mills. First you pass the remarkably small Windlust from 1935. Later you walk past De Haan from 1724. In the protected cityscape of Brouwershaven you see many eighteenth-century houses. The town hall, which originally dates back to the fourteenth century, is located on the Markt. The Waag was built in 1646. From the Havendijk you have a beautiful view over the marina and the Grevelingenmeer.
