The Zandenburg is an Outbound castle outside the village of Veere in Zeeland and the residence of the Lords of Veere only from the house Borsselen and later from one of the bastard lines of the House of Burgundy . Above all, the admirals Philipp , Adolf and Maximilian of Burgundy made the Zandenburg one of the most renowned courts in the Habsburg Netherlands in the first half of the 16th century.
Already at the end of the 13th century the Zandenburg (like Veere) was a fief of the House of Borsselen. Heinrich II. Von Borsselen († 1474), since 1445 Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece , 1467 Count von Grandpré , and his son Wolfhart VI. von Borsselen († 1487), Count of Grandpré, Earl of Buchan , Marshal of France etc., first son-in-law of the Scottish King James I from the House of Stuart (the prosperity of the port city of Veere was based on the cloth and wool trade with England and Scotland) , then the Bourbon Louis I de Bourbon, comte de Montpensier , received the Burgundian dukes Philip the Good (1437) and Charles the Bold (1451 and 1470) here.
Since the marshal was not blessed with sons, he bequeathed Zandenburg to his daughter Anna, who was married to Philip of Burgundy, Herr von Beveren , on July 4, 1485 . Philip was a son of the great bastard Anton of Burgundy, who in turn was a son of Duke Philip, Burgundian councilor and chamberlain, and carried the title of Admiral of the Sea . His son Adolf († 1540) was imperial councilor and treasurer and also Admiral, his son Maximilian, since 1555 Spanish-Dutch Marquis de Vere de Vlissingen et , Admiral and Captain General of Zealand and governor of Holland - these three were the ones who made it and could also afford to receive the Habsburg monarchs on the Zandenburg several times: Philip the Fair in 1500, Charles V in 1515 and 1540, and finally Philip II in 1556.
With Maximilian's childless death in 1558, the great times of the Zandenburg came to an end. It fell into disrepair and the remains of the castle were razed in 1812 . In 2005, the area with the remaining traces of the castle was placed under protection.
