The Main Tower (Hoofdtoren)
In 1532, the municipality had a Main Tower built as a defense tower against attacks from the sea. Remarkably, the seaward side of the tower was completely constructed in light natural stone (sandstone from East Flanders) while the city-facing side of the tower was constructed in brick with so-called fat layers of the same light natural stone.
