🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Schokland peninsula became an island in the 15th century. Due to sea erosion, Schokland was occupied and then abandoned, and in 1859 people had to evacuate the island. But as the Zuiderzee dried up, Schokland has been part of land reclamation since the 1940s. Schokland retains traces of human habitation from prehistoric times. It symbolizes the Dutch people's heroic and long struggle against sea erosion.
