Zanddijk is a neighbourhood of Veere and former village in the municipality of Veere, Zeeland, Netherlands. [3]

History

The hamlet was probably founded in the first half of the twelfth century when some local farmers went to live on a dike made of sand, for which the hamlet was named. [4] (Zanddijk literally means "sand dike".) By 1153 Zanddijk had become a lordship. [4] In 1247 Hendrik Wisse van Borsele inherited the lordship and had a fort constructed there. [4] Under the Van Borsele  [ nl ]s, Zanddijk grew into a wealthy village. [4] Veere was founded on the lordship's territory and quickly grew into a city, overshadowing Zanddijk itself. [4] In 1347 it split off from the lordship. [4] In 1439 parts of Zanddijk were acquired by Veere and in 1574 the rest were put under its control. [4] During the Beeldenstorm its church was damaged but not destroyed; but soon after, it was destroyed anyway. [4] In 1572 Veere went over to the Dutch and provided troops for the Siege of Vlissingen. [4] During the Eighty Years' War, in 1748 it counted only 416 inhabitants. [4] During the Coalition Wars the French built fortifications around the village. [4] In the 1930s its strategic position again saw Zanddijk the location of a line of fortification. [5] [6]
