Campveerse Toren - Veere
Between the 13th century and the 16th century, Veere grew into an international port town. It traded heavily in wool with Scotland and was for a long time the seat of the Admiralty of the Netherlands. Around 1500, the Campveerse Toren was built as part of the fortifications to defend the strategically located town on Walcheren.
During the Eighty Years' War, Veere was an important base of operations for the Beggars. Thanks in part to the large tower, the town was easy to defend. From the Campveerse toren, the Geuzen could see the Spaniards approaching from afar. This made Veere an important supply port for the Geuzen.
Since 1600, there has been an inn in the Campveerse toren. You can still spend the night here. This makes it one of the oldest existing inns in the Netherlands.
