Hulst is a charming municipality located in the southeastern part of Zeeland, a province in the Netherlands. This historic town, known for its well-preserved fortifications, offers visitors a glimpse into the rich Dutch heritage. Hulst's origins date back to the Middle Ages, and its strategic location near the Belgian border has played a significant role in shaping its history and culture.

The town's most prominent feature is its impressive star-shaped fortifications, which were built in the 16th and 17th centuries. These defensive walls, along with the historic city center, have been well maintained and now serve as a picturesque backdrop for locals and tourists alike. Hulst's main square, dominated by the Gothic-style Town Hall and the imposing Basilica of Saint Willibrord, showcases the town's architectural beauty and cultural significance.

Hulst has a strong connection to its agricultural roots, with the surrounding countryside known for its fertile polders and traditional farming practices. This agricultural heritage is reflected in the local cuisine and seasonal festivals. The town also embraces its creative side, with several small galleries and cultural events throughout the year that highlight both traditional and contemporary Dutch art.

While Hulst may not be as widely known as some of the larger Dutch cities, it offers a authentic experience of Dutch small-town life and history. Its museums, though modest in size, provide insights into the local history, including the town's role in various conflicts and its evolution over the centuries. Visitors to Hulst can expect a tranquil atmosphere, well-preserved historical sites, and a genuine taste of Zeeland's cultural landscape.
