Wilmkebreekpolder, Polder in Kadoelen district, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Wilmkebreekpolder spans 20.3 hectares and sits at 3.5 meters below sea level, featuring drainage ditches across its longitudinal direction.

The polder emerged from a lake formed by a dike breach in the early 1500s and was reclaimed in 1633 through an official land reclamation concession.

Local farmers maintain agricultural practices in the polder, preserving one of the last remaining farming areas within Amsterdam's A10 ring road.

Visitors can observe the entire polder landscape from the elevated position of the Landsmeerderdijk, which provides clear views across the agricultural land.

The polder contains a water management system that allows additional water intake during dry periods from the Waterland reservoir system.
