Domburg Vacation Guide

Domburg is a seaside resort on the North Sea, on the northwest coast of Walcheren in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Veere, and lies about 11 km northwest of the city of Middelburg, the provincial capital.

The statistical area "Domburg", which also can include the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 1650.

The area of Domburg has been inhabited since ancient times. In 1647 after heavy storms on the beach of Domburg a sanctuary was discovered with around 40 stones with Latin inscriptions and carvings of several gods, among them of Neptune (sea) and Mercury (trade), but the majority of a local female deity: Nehalennia who appears to have protected both trade and shipping. According to the inscriptions the stones were erected by tradesmen and captains to fulfil their vows after a safe journey, mentioning explicitly on one stone a merchant of pottery doing business with Britain.

Domburg is perhaps best known for its hosting of a group of artists of which Piet Mondraan or Mondrian is the best known. His Pier and Ocean painting was inspired by the same location where James Abbott McNeill Whistler painted the Domburg sea with its characteristic piers which do not cater for the happy crowd but are meant to break waves that may damage the dunes and thus the existence of the place.

Hier vonden we het weer eens tijd worden om iets te drinken. Terwijl we zo op een terrasje zaten zagen we een leuk hotelletje waar ze bij navraag nog wel een kamer voor ons over hadden. Nou dat was dan ook alvast geregeld, en al gauw was onze bagage naar boven gebracht. Na een heel kleine siĆ«sta …
