Middelburg Abbey (The Abbey of Our Lady) is a former Premonstratensian abbey in Middelburg, the Netherlands. At one time it was the centre of a large monastic complex.[1]

Today parts of what survives are used for a museum[2] and as offices. Located approximately 65 km (40 miles) west of Bergen op Zoom, Middelburg is the principal town and regional capital of Zeeland in the Netherlands.
