Koudekerke is a small village just a short distance to the north of Vlissingen. It was once the junction of the Stoomtram Walcheren where a depot was located off the main line from Vlissingen to Domberg on the north side of the island.

The Germans built a series of six bunkers across the north side of the town and out into the surrounding farms including one which appears to be a communications bunker in which one antenna appears to date back to WWII and a newer one which leads one to believe that the Dutch still use it for similar purposes.
