Hoek, Zeeland

Hoek (Dutch pronunciation: [ɦuk]) is a village in the municipality of Terneuzen in the Dutch province of Zeeland.

To defend the former inlet Braakman, Fort Nassau was built near Hoek in 1588 opposite the fortress of Philippine.

After Hulst was conquered by the Dutch Republic in 1645, the fort started to deteriorate.

In 1900, a tower was added in Renaissance Revival style with a needle spire.

[3] In 2015, it was severely damaged by fire, and restored in 2016.
