In medieval times, monks from an abbey built embankments in this area, giving the place its name. Their work shaped the landscape and allowed for better use of the land later on.
The location between two major rivers has made this area significant for people in the region. Today, visitors use the space to watch birds and enjoy views of the river landscape.
