*************

Sluis (Dutch pronunciation: [slœys] (About this soundlisten); Zeelandic: Sluus, Dutch pronunciation: [slys]) is a town and municipality located in the west of Zeelandic Flanders, in the south-western Dutch province of Zeeland.

The current incarnation of the municipality has existed since 1 January 2003. The former municipalities of Oostburg and Sluis-Aardenburg merged on that date. The latter of these two municipalities was formed from a merger between the previous municipality named Sluis and the former municipality of Aardenburg.

The town received city rights in 1290.

In 1340 the Battle of Sluys was fought nearby at sea.

There is a record of one of the first lotteries with money in 9 May 1455 of 1737 florins ($US 170,000, in 2014)

During the Eighty Years' War in 1587 the town was captured by Spanish troops under the Duke of Parma and was retaken in 1604 by a Dutch and English force under Maurice of Nassau.

From 2006 until its closure in 2013, Oud Sluis was one of only two Michelin three-starred restaurants in the entire country.

In addition to the town of Sluis itself, the municipality is made up of the following population centres:

Aardenburg

Breskens

Cadzand

Draaibrug

Eede

Groede

Heille

Hoofdplaat

IJzendijke

Nieuwvliet

Oostburg

Retranchement

Schoondijke

Sint Anna ter Muiden

Sint Kruis

Terhofstede

Waterlandkerkje

Zuidzande

Zwindorp

Sint Anna ter Muiden, with a population of only 50 (2001), is a small village about 1 km west of the town of Sluis, located on the westernmost point of the Netherlands.
