Wieringermeer, Polder in North Holland, Netherlands
The Wieringermeer polder extends across 193 square kilometers of reclaimed land, featuring an intricate network of drainage canals and agricultural fields.
The construction of Wieringermeer began in 1927 due to agricultural land scarcity, with the completion of protective dikes achieved by August 1930.
The establishment of four planned villages - Slootdorp, Middenmeer, Wieringerwerf, and Kreileroord - created new communities within the reclaimed territory.
The Lely pumping station maintains water levels throughout the polder, ensuring continuous drainage for agricultural activities and residential areas.
German forces flooded the entire polder by destroying its dike in April 1945, but within months the land was drained and reconstructed.
