Westkerke is a hamlet in the south-west Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Tholen, Zeeland, about 1 km southwest of Scherpenisse.
Westkerke is not a statistical entity,[1] and the postal authorities have placed it under Scherpenisse.[2] It consists of about 15 houses.[3]
Westkerke has an artificial vlietberg (flee mountain), an artificial mound built between the 10th and 13th century which could contain a motte-and-bailey castle.[4]
Westkerke was a separate municipality until 1816, when it was merged with Scherpenisse.[5] Westkerke was home to 227 people in 1840. Scherpenisse merged in 1971 into Tholen.[3]
