Middelburg 🇳🇱

Middelburg is a city and municipality in the south-western Netherlands serving as the capital of the province of Zeeland. In terms of technology, Middelburg played a role in the Scientific Revolution at the early modern period. The town was historically a center of lens crafting in the Golden Age of Dutch science and technology. The invention of the microscope and telescope is often credited to Middelburg spectacle-makers in the late 16th century and early 17th century.
