The Delta Works were built after the flood disaster in 1953 to protect the Zeeland country against the sea. It is the largest storm surge barrier in the world and this unique construction is well worth a visit! With a length of 3 kilometers and its 65 pillars, the Oosterscheldekering is the most impressive and best-known part of the Delta Works.
