Oostereiland, Artificial island in Binnenstad, Hoorn, Netherlands.
Located between protective dams, Oostereiland extends into the waters of the former Zuiderzee with wooden quays and stone fortifications measuring 70 centimeters in height.
The island's construction took place between 1662 and 1668, initially hosting warehouses for the Admiralty of Noorderkwartier and facilities for the Dutch East India Company.
The former prison complex now houses the Museum van de Twintigste Eeuw, displaying collections that document the evolution of daily life through the 20th century.
Visitors can access multiple facilities on the island, including a cinema, hotel accommodations, offices, and apartments, all integrated within the restored historical structures.
Historical vessels form an outdoor exhibition of the Westfries Museum, connecting the maritime heritage of the island with contemporary cultural presentations.
