The island of Schokland, Zuiderzee
The Netherlands
At this former island people
drowned and
many bravely survived during
centuries of struggle
against the tides and the
winds and the waves
of the Suydersea (Zuiderzee).
Although the island of
Schokland is very small,
halfway the island was an
official state border between
Holland and Overijssel, that
divided the island
in North (Catholic) and South
Protestant).
Four villages were established
on the island,
on high artificial hills, the
so called Terps,
most probably existing since
ancient times.
Spirits are always awake at
this Spirit Place
and ready to make conversation with the
visitors.
There are special ley lines
here
at this unique island of
Schokland
under the protection of
Unesco.
The island of schokland is now
part of the Noord-oost-Polder
after having been abandoned for a century.
An old harbour is still there
without water
and ruins of one of the four churches.
