Nisse is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Borsele, which has approximately 22,500 inhabitantshttps://www.borsele.nl/feiten-en-cijfers, and lies about 17 km east of Middelburg.
Nisse was a separate municipality until 1970, when it was merged with Borsele.
Nisse is one of seventeen protected city- and village views in Zeeland. There is a 15th-century church with 14th century tower, containing frescoes and wood carvings. The village square, restored in 1975, has a bandstand, an 18th-century water pump and a vaete - a waterhole formerly used by cattle, now commonly in use as a duck pond.
Nisse's surrounding countryside consists of meadows with hawthorn hedges and welen - a type of open water - and is loved by both hikers and cyclists. Fruit cultivation is the most practiced form of agriculture.
Yearly events include a jumble sale with proceeds going to the local church,[3] the music festival Pastorale au Parvis,[4] the running competition Meidoornloop, and village fête Schaapscheerdersfeest, until the latter's cancellation in 2011[5] and subsequent years.
