Middelburg - St Jorisdoelen

Just north of the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Abdij stands St Jorisdoelen, the guild house of the marksmen's guild of St George. The facade (1582), bearing the arms of Middelburg, Zeeland and the marksmen's guild, was rebuilt in its original form in 1969-70. On the gable is a figure of St George. The building now houses the employment exchange. In front of St Jorisdoelen, in Balansplein, is a fountain which plays in summer and is illuminated after dark.
