Religious Sites in Middelburg

Middelburg’s spiritual heritage is anchored by the historic Abbey complex, featuring the 14th-century Koorkerk and the Nieuwe Kerk. The city's skyline is defined by the 17th-century domed Oostkerk, one of the first churches built specifically for Protestant worship. Beyond the medieval center, the collection includes the restored synagogue on Herenstraat and the Yıldırım Beyazıt Mosque, alongside various denominational churches like the Waalse Kerk, reflecting centuries of religious diversity and architectural evolution from Gothic to mid-century modern.
