Stories in the Landscape
Bevrijdingspark Zeeland is the approximately 3-hectare open-air park of the Liberation Museum Zeeland in Nieuwdorp (municipality of Borsele).
In this park, you can discover historical objects, reconstructions, and landscape features that together tell the story of Zeeland during the Second World War, with particular attention to the Battle of the Scheldt.
Throughout the park, you will find 15 information panels. On this page, you can read the background stories that accompany these panels. You can read them in advance to prepare for your visit, use them during a walk through the park, or view them separately if you are not yet familiar with the park.
History in the Landscape
Liberation Park Zeeland, together with the Liberation Museum Zeeland, forms a single whole, but offers a different way of experiencing history. While the museum indoors presents objects, photographs, and personal stories, the park shows how war and landscape are intertwined.
You walk through a landscape of dikes, open terrain, and vegetation, passing objects that symbolize occupation, battle, libera
The objects in the park are deliberately placed in the open landscape. The information panels provide context and depth. They explain what you see and why it is here, how the objects were used during the war, and what role Zeeland played in the broader story of the liberation. They also make visible how military action, civilians, and the landscape influenced one another.
Together, the panels form one continuous whole.
