West-Souburg

West-Souburg is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is part of the municipality of Vlissingen, and now almost completely surrounded by suburbs of the city of Vlissingen. Once one of the most important settlements on the Zeeland island of Walcheren, West-Souburg is now a very small place that some consider nothing more than a suburb of Vlissingen.
