Learn all about the history of the Battle of the Scheldt at the Bevrijdingsmuseum Zeeland. In the autumn of 1944, Allied and German forces fought a fierce battle to claim control of the Westerschelde, the main shipping route to the (liberated) port of Antwerp. Although the battle is often forgotten, it was of decisive significance for the later liberation of Western Europe. Combine your journey into the past with a crossing on the Westerschelde Ferry. Discover how the battleground of the Battle of the Scheldt is one of the busiest waterways in the world, even today.

Please note that the Bevrijdingsmuseum can only be reached by (electric) bicycle or e-scooter. You can rent bicycles at Rijwielshop Vlissingen (next to the NS station, at walking distance from the Westerschelde Ferry).
