Museum de Burghse Schoole
Curious about what education looked like in 1920? This museum is housed in an old school building where one of the rooms is set up as a classroom. Here, you won't find digital tools, but rather students writing with ink from pots and a teacher scratching with chalk on the blackboard. There is still plenty to learn and discover in the other rooms of the museum as well. You can learn more about the history of the Kop van Schouwen and the Karolingische Ringwalburg, one of the best-preserved forts in Zeeland. It gets its name from its ring shape surrounded by a moat and fortified with a high earthen wall. They served as defense against the frequent Viking attacks in the ninth century. The rotating exhibition often focuses on a topic related to the Kop van Schouwen.
