    The monument for the drowned villages in Zeeland has been on the Oosterscheldedijk, east of Colijnsplaat, since 2009. It was commissioned by the province of Zeeland based on a design by Amsterdam artist Lydia Schouten and draws attention to drowned church villages that disappeared between approximately 1300 and 1700 as a result of flooding.

    Lydia Schotten created the monument in 2009. It is reminiscent of the terrible storm surge of February 1st, 1953, in which many people perished and several villages sank in the floods.

    I find the memorial designed to match the sea and quite appealing
