Pagadder "Hermana"

Highlight • Monument

Hermana's story

Would you like to come and rest here? Are you thirsty? If you want, you can sit down here and drink some water. I have time to talk to you. I am Hermana and I am a nun. I still wear the black dress of the nuns of Saint Augustine. I joined them when the guesthouse was opened here. It used to be extremely busy here and I would walk around from early in the morning until late at night to take care of the sick and the elderly. And now and then at night too, because it is never quiet in a sickbay. But that was all a long time ago. Nowadays I take it a bit easier, even though I am not that old yet. I would love to roll up my sleeves and help people again, but unfortunately the sickbay here is closed.

Oranjebolwerk

Highlight • Historical Site

It served to protect the Ghent Gate, the then ravelin and the harbour. Between 1906 and 1955 there was a gas factory. Due to a lack of space, the municipality excavated the stronghold down to the central square in 1926 and filled in the inner fortress to expand the gas factory. That expansion did not happen. In the 20th century, the stronghold also housed a sheltered workshop, a fire station, a slaughterhouse and a lemonade factory. At the end of the 20th century, the wall along the stronghold was raised again and the adjacent fortress was excavated up to the station road to create a parking lot and a connecting road with a bridge.

Nassaubolwerk

Highlight • Historical Site

The Nassaubolwerk (formerly called the St. Franciscusbolwerk, after the then nearby Minderbroederklooster on 's-Gravenhofplein) is one of the smallest of the nine strongholds. On the other side of the canal, the remains of a ravelin and the counterscarp were turned into a walking park and later a parking lot.

Keldermanspoort (Bollewerckpoort)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Bollewerckpoorte or Dobbele Poort, also known colloquially as Keldermanspoort, is the western entrance to the city. It is located in the 3.5 km long city wall and was both a land and water gate. During the invasion by the people of Ghent in 1491, the gate was destroyed and then reinforced again. However, during the Eighty Years' War, the gate had to give way again. In 1618, the ruin was buried under earth from the new Brederode bastion and became invisible. Mr Keldermans (?) conducted research and discovered the buried gate. From 1959, excavations and restorations took place under the leadership of P.J. Brand. In 1999, the Keldermanspoort was restored to its current state.

Since 2012, the Keldermanspoort has been reconnected to the city center of Hulst through the Nieuwe Bierkaai project by the redevelopment of the old inner harbor. On top of the Brederode bastion, there is a viewing panel, which allows you to see what the gate must have looked like in former times.

Brederodebolwerk

Highlight • Historical Site

The Bollewercpoort gate, the bastion begun under the Spanish, served as additional protection for this valuable structure and the harbor entrance. In 1618, the structure was incorporated into the high earthworks of the new Brederode bastion and has been invisible ever since.

Anchor Place

Highlight • Historical Site

Anchorages are places of cultural-historical significance, places where the heritage of Zeeland can be experienced. Each anchorage is equipped with a contemporary folding bench. Folding benches used to be in central places in Zeeland villages and towns and were used for ‘gossiping’. People told each other stories there, about themselves, about events in the village or about the news of the day.

With the push of a button, you can listen to a story about the history of that place on the folding benches of Zeeland Anchors. In Hulst, you can hear stories about the medieval port and trading town (1180), the fortification of the fortress (1618), the conflict around the Willibrordus Church, which the Protestants and Catholics had to share (1807) and about the liberation of Hulst (1944)

Reynaert Monument, Hulst

Highlight • Monument

The story about the cunning fox Reynaert is a satirical animal story, in which medieval society is held up to a mirror. It is one of the earliest works written in the vernacular. In the story, places in the vicinity of Hulst are recognizable. The city therefore calls itself the Reynaert city.
