Dorpshuis de Schutse

The community center is the social heart of a village. And that's no different with community center De Schutse. Many associations have a designated space for their activities there, the library is housed there, and it's usually where various village gatherings and parties are celebrated. In 2019, manager Peter Brussé officially took over from the previous managers, and for him, all the pieces fell into place. "For me, the community center is part of my upbringing, and I have many memories tied to it. Even as a child, I participated in the lip sync show and the eighth-grade musical. Not much has changed in that regard. It's still the social heart of Burgh-Haamstede. Everyone has a connection to it. From young to old." According to Peter, this should never be lost. He joyfully dedicates himself every day to welcoming visitors and providing them with refreshments when the bar is open. Those looking to rent a space or throw a party are also in the right place: "You can easily celebrate a wedding or a birthday party here. Many people don't think about it. In my opinion, it should be that when the lights are on, everyone can come here.
