Schokland
For centuries, Schokland was a densely populated island in the Zuiderzee. But sea levels rose, Schokland became smaller and life for the Schokkers became tough. After repeated storm disasters, King William III ordered the evacuation of the last villages in 1859. Schokland fell into oblivion. Schokland was suddenly no longer an island.
Today, Schokland is appreciated at home and abroad. The former island was the first Dutch monument to be placed on the World Heritage List by Unesco.

Schokland

Today, Schokland is appreciated at home and abroad. The former island was the first Dutch monument to be placed on the World Heritage List by Unesco.
On the northern tip of the island, near the old harbour, stands the national monument the Lichtwachterswoning (lighthouse). This comfortably furnished room has a large fixed meeting table for 14 to 16 people. The upstairs room can be used as a fall-back room.
Guesthouse the Lichtwachter is a wonderful place to be. Beautiful views and a historic spot in the Noordoostpolder.
