Schouwen-Duiveland

Few places in Zeeland have a history as closely tied to the 1953 North Sea flood and the Delta Works as Schouwen-Duiveland. This island municipality lies between the North Sea, the Oosterschelde estuary and the Grevelingenmeer, where dunes, dikes and water-engineering works shape the coast. The Oosterscheldekering storm-surge barrier, a defining part of the Delta Works, stands nearby. In historic Zierikzee, the harbourfront and the unfinished late-medieval Sint-Lievensmonstertoren, known as the Dikke Toren, recall the island’s long maritime past. Beaches near Renesse and the dunes of the Kop van Schouwen add another side to this exposed delta landscape.
