Maaseutu Walcheren

Rural Charm of Walcheren

The Walcheren peninsula features a landscape defined by historic masonry and timber windmills, many dating back to the 19th century.

These sites showcase functional flour and peeling mills alongside local produce shops and a working beekeeping facility in Poppendamme, offering a direct look at traditional Zeelandic rural industry and craftsmanship.
