Museum in Zeeland
Zierikzee is situated at one of the most important rivers of Zeeland, Flanders, in the Scheldt delta, the Oosterschelde.
Around 1300AD it was one of the biggest towns in Holland and Zeeland. Their grand houses had beautiful stained-glass windows; Europe's finest and most expensive glass graced their tables. Houses were decorated with floor tiles from France and Spain.
It was the route towards the large trading cities Ghent and Antwerp. It traded in wool, salt, fish and madder.
The water was also the town's misfortune. Storms surges scoured out the Western Scheldt river, eventually making it a much better route for shipping. At the same time the access route to Zierikzee silted up. The town's prosperity declined after 1500 AD as ships sailing to Brabant and Flanders diverted to other harbours.
Stadsmuseum Zierikzee shows many findings of the city from the Middle Ages, 1000-1500AD.
During the Roman occupation the important harbour of Ganuenta (nowadays Colijnsplaat, right at the opposite of the Eastern Scheldt of Zierikzee) was a famous trading centre.
