SYNAGOGUE

This synagogue dates from 1705, and was built in the garden of Benjamin Levie, a merchant of the city. It is the second synagogue to be built on Dutch soil after the one in Amsterdam. It was used as a storage place (by the Germans) for radios and was badly damaged by a British grenade during the liberation of Walcheren. It was restored almost thirty years ago. Its interior is now modern and also allows the organization of very famous chamber music concerts and readings.
