The landscape around the Plompe Tower looks peaceful and safe, but it was once very different. Hundreds of years ago, the tower was the center of the prosperous village of Koudekerke, located on the Oosterschelde. The village disappeared, only the tower survived.

It is not only birds that flee from the water. The people of Zeeland also had to pack up and leave on several occasions. Time and again the sea pushed in and flooded dikes and villages. Here on the South Coast at least fifteen villages disappeared into the water between 1475 and 1650. And all that remains is the Plompe Toren. The tower once belonged to the prosperous village of Koudekerke. The tower now houses a small but charming information centre of Natuurmonumenten.
