Researchers have recorded that 21% of the population of the Netherlands, whose land is one-quarter below sea level, live in these regions. Founded on a delta where Europe's great rivers flow, living on the polders has taught its people to build residences with creative solutions.
“The struggle between water and land shapes the Netherlands, and this determines not only the geography but also the mind-set. I know that Schiphol Airport was built in an area obtained by the draining of a lake and is below sea level, but I still cannot help but be surprised when I look at the view. Knowing that it is five or six meters below sea level is terrifying at first. The characteristic Dutch geography greets its visitors with such a surprise." This quote, above, from Atlas Magazine writer Ayşegül Parlayan, provides us with an understanding of the Netherlands in general.
Now Covid-19 is everywhere of course, but before Cozy holiday homes, with a view of the Zijlroede (canal) this is where the boats go through Lemmer to the IJsselmeer or for those who want to stay overnight in Lemmer. The water traffic can be nicely observed from the terrace of this house. The calm attains a meditative character.
Lemmer is a town in the municipality of De Fryske Marren, in the Dutch province of Friesland. Lemmer lies adjacent to the IJsselmeer and the Frisian Lakes and is one of Friesland's best-known surface water sports locations. Lemmer is a bustling lakeside resort in the summer months and attracts not only day-trippers from surrounding communities such as Emmeloord, Urk and Joure, but also national and international tourists.
In 2017 the town had 10,225 inhabitants. Due to its favourable location in relation to the Randstad, Lemmer attracts many new inhabitants from outside Friesland.
The original Lemsters settled where the rivers Rien and Zijlroede meet, though it remains unknown when they first did so. Lemmer appears in writing at the beginning of the fourteenth century, though it is mentioned as Lenna in the writings of the bishop of the diocese of Utrecht in 1228.
In 1422, a castle was built in Lemmer by Duke John III of Bavaria-Straubing, who had been summoned by the Schieringers as patron of Friesland. Known as “John the Pitiless”, he certainly would not have been a popular figure in Lemmer.
Duke Charles II of Guelders also interfered with Friesland. He had a blockhouse built in Lemmer in 1521, which housed a garrison. Two years later he handed it over to the Burgundians. What the castles and blockhouse looked like is unknown.
The Spaniards did not leave the village alone either. In 1581, during the Eighty Years' War, they conquered Lemmer, along with the city of Sloten. In the rampjaar of 1672, however, Prince-Bishop von Galen of Münster proved unable to occupy Lemmer as part of the Franco-Dutch War.
In 1799, British troops landed in Lemmer. The War of the Second Coalition had broken out between Great Britain and France, and the Dutch had become involved as a "sister republic". British warships sailed the Zuiderzee and the cities of Enkhuizen, Medemblik and Stavoren were occupied. Soon afterwards, the large warships could be seen in Lemmer.
Lemmer eventually became one of the most important fishing towns in the Netherlands, thanks in part to its fleet of 146 vessels. With the completion of the Zuiderzee Works between 1924 and 1968, fishery declined incrementally. Lemmer offers a central position in southern Friesland and northern Flevoland. Every year there is the Lemster week, a week of cultural events attracting around 85,000 people annually. The Lemsteraak, a traditional sailing ship, originates in Lemmer. De Groene Draeck, the royal yacht of Princess Beatrix, is a notable example of a Lemsteraak.
