Westhove Castle is situated between the villages of Domburg and Oostkapelle in the northern part of the peninsula Walceren. It was built in the beginning of the 13th century but since that time often (partly) destroyed and changed. During WW II the castle was again heavily damaged. In 1948 the outside of the castle was repaired followed in 1977 by a thorough restoration of its interiors. Because of all these changes not much remains of the real medieval castle. What we see today mostly dates back to the 17th and 18th century
