The mission: Your story in Zeewolde
I was a fisherman, born in 1890, when this land was still the sea.
We called it the Zuiderzee. But it was more than just water. It was our life. Now I stand where boats once floated, and you walk where I once sailed.
This journey isn’t for treasure, but for understanding.
You’ll learn how the sea became soil, how people traded nets for fields, and how the sea still whispers in bricks and trees.
Come. Walk with me. Back to the bottom of the sea.
