Ouwerkerk
Luctor et Emergo
Influenced by history
Ouwerkerk lives up to the motto "Luctor et Emergo" (I struggle and emerge). History has made Ouwerkerk famous. The caissons are the crowning achievement of the dike breach in 1953. Here we also find the Watersnoodmuseum where present, past, and future converge in the eternal battle against water.
