Kuiperspoort

One of the most beautiful and oldest courtyards in Middelburg; De Kuiperspoort. The hofje lies almost unnoticed between the Dam and the Rouaanse kaai.

A true oasis of calm in the bustling city center. Since 1642 this was the place where coopers, craftsmen in making barrels, gathered. Here goods were stored in barrels. Iron rings on the ground were used to slowly hoist the barrels in and out of the cellars of the warehouses. Wander the cobblestones of this quaint little street. Look around and enjoy old facades and warehouses converted into homes. This picturesque spot provides an idyllic backdrop for the most beautiful photos.
