Middelburg's Houses

Middelburg is a picturesque coastal city located in the province of Zeeland on the western side of the Netherlands. The historic city centre of Middelburg is virtually unchanged due to rehabilitation efforts after WWII. One of the city’s charming features are the many centuries-old buildings, especially along the canals. These towering buildings – of which Middelburg’s Houses are a shining example – are characterised by their stepped facades, small windows and right angles, adding to their eye-catching appeal. Tourists and photographers alike come here to admire the remarkable architecture, explore the many winding lanes and admire the magnificently kept alleys.
