Veere was granted city rights in 1355 though it was settled long before that. The name means ferry and one was founded in 1281. The city stands on the Veerse Meer Lagoon on Walcheren Island. The city draws millions of tourists a year with many visiting the Storm Surge Barrier on the Oosterschelde. There are remnants of a fort near the town's molen along with a part of the moat.
