Beschreibung
Discover the hidden treasures of the ancient trading city of Zierikzee on a guided walking tour. Learn about the history of the city and its importance as a trading center.
Step back in time and be captivated by the fascinating history of Zierikzee on a guided walking tour. Discover the hidden treasures of this ancient trading city as you stroll past impressive monuments such as the North and South Harbor Gates, the majestic old town hall, and the mysterious Gravensteen.
Begin your tour at the Noordhavenpoort, the northern harbor gate, and the Zuidhavenpoort, the southern harbor gate. Walk past the old town hall and the Gravensteen, a former residence of the count and prison. Admire the Nieuwe Kerk and the imposing Dikke Toren as you learn more about life in the Middle Ages.
Hear how Zierikzee was first mentioned in 976 and likely received its first city rights in 1219, which were expanded in 1248. By the end of the Middle Ages, Zierikzee was an important trading place due to its favorable location on the Oosterschelde. Major export products included salt, cloth, madder, and herring.
Learn how Zierikzee lost its important position due to factors such as huge city fires, diseases, and the silting of the waters. Discover how, due to a lack of money to renovate the city, Zierikzee has retained its beautiful old town with numerous monuments that are well worth seeing.
