Former island of Schokland (UNESCO World Heritage)
The former island Schokland is a symbol of the traditional Dutch struggle against the water. Schokland lost its status as an island when the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed from the sea in 1942. The remains are still visible as a slightly elevated part in the polder. A major flood in 1825 brought massive destruction, and in 1859 the government decided to end permanent settlement on Schokland. Today Schokland is a popular archeological site and host to the Schokland Museum. Schokland was the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands
