Lelystad

Lelystad has served as the administrative centre of Flevoland since the province was established in 1986. Built on land reclaimed from the former Zuiderzee, it is a young Dutch city named for engineer Cornelis Lely, a leading figure behind the Zuiderzee Works. Its waterfront meets the Markermeer, while the Oostvaardersplassen wetlands nearby form part of Nieuw Land National Park. Lelystad also reflects the Netherlands’ long tradition of water management: the Houtribdijk connects its coast with Enkhuizen.
