History

Vlissingen, located on the southern coast of the Walcheren Peninsula in the province of Zeeland, is a city steeped in maritime history. Its origins date back to the early Middle Ages when it served as a small fishing village. Due to its strategic location along the Scheldt River and the North Sea, Vlissingen evolved into an important port city by the 14th century, playing a crucial role in trade, naval defense, and exploration.
