Buttinge en Zandvoort

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buttinge en Zandvoort is a former municipality in the Dutch province of Zeeland, which existed until 1816.[1] In that year, it was made a part of the municipality of Grijpskerke, and it is now part of the municipality of Veere.

The only village in the municipality was Buttinge. Zandvoort was a former hamlet between Buttinge and Middelburg. It may have been a larger village in medieval times, but around the middle of the 19th century, there was only a population of about 50 left.[2]
