Flevoland

Flevoland is best known within the Netherlands for its vast reclaimed polders, formed through the twentieth-century Zuiderzee Works. The country’s youngest province stands on land once covered by the Zuiderzee, with orderly fields, straight drainage canals and planned cities giving it a distinctly engineered character. Lelystad, the provincial capital, reflects the scale of this national project, while Almere has developed into one of the Netherlands’ largest planned urban centres. The Markermeer borders Flevoland to the west, and the Oostvaardersplassen wetland is part of Nieuw Land National Park.
