Description

At the end of the Middle Ages, Zierikzee was an important place in Zeeland and the surrounding area. In the Eighty Years' War, Zierikzee was conquered by Beggars in 1572. Thanks to her location on an island, the Spaniards did not succeed in recapturing her at first. But in November 1575 they landed on Schouwen and Duiveland, and laid siege to Zierikzee. The city was finally conquered on June 30, 1576.

Zierikzee is known as a city of monuments. The most famous monument is the Sint-Lievens Monstertoren, which is also popularly known as the Fat Tower. This tower resembles the St. Rumbold's Tower in Mechelen like two drops of water.

Also worth seeing are the:
* Nobel Gate
* Noordhavenpoort
* Zuidhavenpoort
* windmill De Hoop
* windmill De Haas
* Maritime Museum Zierikzee
* New Church
