Walcheren, an island belonging to the Dutch province of [[Zeeland (Netherlands)|Zeeland]]; [[Middelburg (Zeeland, Netherlands)|Middelburg]], the capital of Zeeland, is located on this island. [[Anabaptism|Anabaptists]] were found at Walcheren by 1534, and later there were Mennonite congregations at Middelburg, Vlissingen, both of which still exist, and [[Veere (Zeeland, Netherlands)|Veere]], which died out shortly after 1671. In the early 17th century the Reformed classis of Walcheren, which was very strict and intolerant, acted against the Mennonites, but nevertheless the Mennonite congregations on Walcheren could develop.

In the early 18th century Walcheren for some years was the refuge for a number of Mennonite families who had been expelled from [[Lithuania|Lithuania]]. They came to the Netherlands in December 1732 and were settled partly at [[Wageningen (Gelderland, Netherlands)|Wageningen]] and partly on the island of Walcheren, where the Mennonite Committee for Foreign Needs bought farms for them in several villages. The church board of Middelburg administered the farms and aided the refugees in their many needs and difficulties. At first (December 1732) 15 families settled at Walcheren, in the following years some of the refugees from Wageningen also moved to Walcheren, but by 1736 some of them returned to Prussia, followed by the others. Most of them had left Walcheren by 1739; the last of these settlers left in 1744. The settlers did not feel at home and complained of the interference of the Middelburg deacons and the "big bosses" of the Amsterdam committee. The colonization was a failure. The Dutch Mennonites spent about 80,000 Dutch guilders for this adventure.

During World War II Walcheren was badly damaged; the town of Vlissingen was largely destroyed; its Mennonite church was bombed. And in September 1944 nearly the whole island was flooded and the population had to flee. An [[Mennonite Central Committee (International)|Mennonite Central Committee]] reconstruction unit of 11 men served on Walcheren from 28 May 1946, to 22 December 1947. After the flood disaster of 1 February 1953, a Mennonite voluntary service group worked on Walcheren.
