Climb the winding staircase to reach the top and be rewarded with a new perspective on the city’s old canals, cobblestone streets, and charming squares. Located in the heart of the city center, the Abbey complex itself houses museums, exhibitions, and a picturesque courtyard. After your tower visit, spend time exploring the local boutiques, cafés, and hidden corners of Middelburg, brimming with Dutch seafaring history and distinctive charm.
