Breezand

Breezand has functioned as an agricultural settlement in the Anna Paulownapolder of North Holland since the nineteenth century. The village stands on land reclaimed from the sea in the 1840s, within low-lying polder country between the North Sea coast and the Wadden Sea. Flower-bulb growing remains central to local life, and each spring Breezand is associated with the Bloemendagen, when residents decorate streets with large mosaics made from hyacinth flowers. Straight drainage ditches, open fields and broad skies define this deliberately cultivated setting rather than an old urban centre.
