Belfort Sluis Reopens

On Monday the mayor of Amsterdam, Eberhard van der Laan, and his colleague from Sluis, Annemiek Jetten, will open the renovated Belfort in Sluis, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. Belforts are watch towers from the Middle Ages. Most of these belforts are situated in Flanders, Wallonia and the North of France. The Belfort in Sluis, a touristic city at the border of Belgium and the Netherlands, is the only one in the Netherlands. The Belfort in Sluis was thoroughly renovated. All the technical installations are renewed, the tourist center (VVV) will be housed inside and there are several exhibition rooms installed in which interactive exhibitions can be organized.
