The history of Schouwen-Duiveland is a hard-fought battle against the waves. The floods of 1953 have left their mark on the landscape and left their mark on generations. More than 800 monuments commemorate the magnitude of the disaster that once devastated a prosperous region. Prosperity was followed by misery and reconstruction was slow, as the state did not consider it urgent to rebuild. The region honors its painful past while looking to the future. The Watersnoodmuseum is a jewel in the crown for understanding the history of the region and the country. The village of Zieriekzee looks like something out of a postcard.
