Veere is a municipality in the southwestern Netherlands, in the region of Walcheren in the province of Zeeland.
Wolfert Van Borssele established a ferry and ferry house there in 1281. In the same year Wolfert also built the castle Sandenburg on one of the dikes he had built. On 12 November 1282, Count Floris V. thereupon issued a charter by which Wolfert received the sovereignty to the land and castle with the ferry and ferry house. Veere was a prosperous trading city, with about 750 houses inside the city walls. More on Veere
