Kloveniersdoelen, Middelburg
Built in 1611, in Flemish Renaissance style, this building has seen it all. During the course of time it has been used as the headquarters of a marksmen’s guild, a Dutch East India Company storehouse, a military hospital during the French revolution, and more recently, a provincial music library. In 1735 the tower was destroyed when it was struck by lightning; it was rebuilt more than two centuries later, in 1969.
Nowadays, The Kloveniersdoelen is occupied by the Center for New Music.
