This abbey can be found in the center of Middelburg, Zeeland, the Netherlands. It's partly depicted because of its size. It orginates from the early medieval years. Much of the old city center of Middelburg, including this abbey, was bombed in the early phases of WW II (on May 17th, 1940) by the 'German Luftwaffe', to compel the surrender of the Dutch Army forces in Zeeland. After the war, as much of the old town center was rebuilt and restored along pre-war lines as possible.The medieval abbey is still in use today, as a museum and as the seat of the provincial government.
