De Poelen, Former hamlet in Waadhoeke, Netherlands.

Agricultural polder settlement spanning across flat terrain with water management systems featuring drainage canals and traditional Dutch fields.

The settlement emerged through early Dutch land reclamation efforts, transforming wetlands into productive agricultural land through strategic water management.

The area maintains traditional farming methods while incorporating modern agricultural practices, reflecting the evolution of Dutch rural communities.

Current residents have relocated to neighboring towns, leaving the polder primarily dedicated to agricultural activities and water management operations.

The polder mill in De Poelen continues to function as part of the water management infrastructure, maintaining centuries-old drainage techniques.
