Zierikzee is home to a wealth of monuments and ranks in the top 10 of Dutch heritage cities. Over 500 national monuments are officially registered. In the city’s skyline, landmarks such as the Dikke Toren, the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), the old Town Hall with its copper Neptune weathervane, the Gasthuiskerk and three city gates stand tall.
