Biert, Hamlet in Nissewaard, Netherlands.
Biert is a small settlement in South Holland that spreads along the Biertsedijk dike. The area is characterized by polder land with agricultural fields typical of this Dutch region.
The settlement first appeared in written records in 1304 when mentioned in a charter about dike construction. Over the following centuries it developed as a typical polder community centered on water management and farming.
The settlement took its name from the medieval Biert family who owned land here. Houses line the dikes, showing how residents have adapted to living in this water-rich landscape for generations.
The village sits in the Voorne-Putten region about two kilometers northeast of Zuidland and is best reached by car or bicycle. The flat landscape is excellent for cycling and exploring the polder countryside.
The polder landscape here shows a striking engineering feat: the land sits below sea level and is kept dry through an intricate system of dikes. This achievement becomes visually clear when you notice the height differences between the settlement and the surrounding water.
