Map & Poi's.

POI 1 - Kloosterzande windmill.

Kloosterzande mill is the name of the unnamed standerd mill in Kloosterzande in the Dutch province of Zeeland. The mill was probably built around 1690 near Kuitaart as an oil mill and rebuilt around 1781 in Kloosterzande as a flour mill. In 1959 the mill became the property of the then municipality of Hontenisse. The mill is currently owned by the municipality of Hulst. After restoration in 1995, the mill is regularly put into operation by a volunteer miller.

POI 2 - Zandpolder.

The Zandpolder is the oldest polder in this complex. It has existed since 1170 and measures 259 ha. It was diked by the monks of the Ten Duinen Abbey, who founded an uithof, Hof te Zande, in this polder. To the north of this, the village of Kloosterzande was created and on the western dike, Groenendijk grew from 1692.

POI 3 - Hof te Zande.

Hof te Zande was a courtyard of the Cistercian Abbey Ten Duinen, located near what is now Kloosterzande. After the Ten Duinen Abbey had acquired the right of ownership of the salt marshes in the wider area in 1196, the monks began to reclaim the area. This resulted in the polder complex: Polders of Hontenisse and Ossenisse.
