's-Gravesloot, Polder in Woerden, Netherlands.

The polder spans across 1.96 square kilometers of agricultural land, featuring a network of drainage canals and water management systems near Woerden.

This land became a separate municipality in 1812 during the implementation of the Dutch municipal system before merging with Kamerik-Mijzijde and Kamerik-Houtdijken in 1857.

The polder represents traditional Dutch water management techniques, with local farmers maintaining agricultural practices that have shaped the landscape for generations.

Visitors can access the polder through local transport connections from Woerden city center, with walking and cycling paths available throughout the area.

The polder contained a windmill built before 1490 that was destroyed in 1672 during battles between French troops and the Prince of Orange's forces.
