The Huys van Roosevelt in Oud-Vossemeer is a charming museum that brings the connection between the village and the famous Roosevelt family to life. Located in a quiet street, the building breathes history and inside you will discover stories about emigration, family history, and international connections. A special place to step into and be surprised by this piece of world history in Zeeland.

Due to the excessive cutting of peat for salt extraction and as fuel, the entire region fell more than a meter lower, so that the entire area and the village of Reymerswael fell prey to the waves. The information panels present tell you in detail about the disappearance of the village and its residents.

Muiepolder Badstrand is a very small piece of "beach". Near a campsite, with a small parking lot and somewhat closed for children. I prefer wide, deserted walking beaches by the sea, but it must also be nice to relax here. If you want to see the quality of the water before you go, you can always search the Internet for "Muiepolder Badstrand" as it is called. And then you might also find the description below: "Sint Maartensdijk Muiepolder Badstrand is located on the Oosterschelde in the province of Zeeland in the town of Sint Maartensdijk and is part of the municipality of Tholen. It is a saltwater location that is under the influence of the tide. In the There are several camping sites near the beach. There is a cycle path along the dike. North of the swimming location is the De Pluimpot nature reserve.

"De Hoop", built in 1736 to replace an even older post mill. Mill "De Hoop", built on the edge of this beautiful fortified town, turned out to be on an artificial elevation, a kind of mound. It is a round, stone, white-painted flour mill, type mill. And what a statement! The aim is to raise the blades even further to catch as much wind as possible. The scaffolding on which this mill stands is exceptionally high!

Roman Catholic hall church, located on the Markt in the center of the city, built in 1900 by order of the Catholic parish of Our Lady of the Assumption under the leadership of Father Beddink in neo-Gothic style and designed by architect P. Snel in Hoorn. The church was built after the demolition of the old church in 1900 and was consecrated on November 19, 1900. The so-called Patronage building adjacent to the southwest side of the church and Paulinastraat is not protected. This also applies to the organ in the church building.
