Monument Nieuwe Haven in Middelburg

You're standing on the Rouaanskaai in Middelburg, next to a slender stone needle. This is the Monument to the New Harbour, and it's a listed national monument. Start by looking all the way up. At the very tip of the obelisk sits a gleaming golden ball. The needle itself is made of bluestone, a hard grey-blue stone, and it rests on a square base.
