Historama Abdij Middelburg

Frommer's Review

Middelburg's sprawling 13th-century abbey in the center of town had a life of traumatic ups and downs over the centuries, as it went from Catholic to Protestant to secular usages, all the while suffering from fires and careless alterations at the hands of whoever happened to be in charge.

Part of the complex is occupied by the Historama Abdij Middelburg, in which the abbey's history is revealed during a fascinating walk through the cloisters, down to the cellars and the crypt, and back again. You'll be introduced to historical figures such as the Norbertine monks and William of Orange.
