De Wachter Art Installation
Highlight • Monument
The work of art is an eight-metre-high hill, on which sheep can graze. The work of art De Wachter, by artist Marius Boender, was built along the Hollandsch Diep at the spot where the dike broke during the Flood Disaster in 1953. The reason for the monument was the completion of the dike reinforcement in 2001. The work of art is an eight-metre-high, pyramid-like clay hill, overgrown with grass. You can climb the work of art via a path that winds over the work of art. There is a good chance that you will do so in the company of grazing sheep. The creation of the work of art was a challenge, because factors such as weight (not too heavy), weather resistance (rain and wind) and construction (not subsidence under pressure from visitors) had to be taken into account.

Willemstad Town Hall
Highlight • Historical Site
Prince Maurits originally wanted a church and a town hall to be built in the young village. Due to the war situation, there was no money for this. So a kind of multifunctional town hall was designed in which church services could also be held and which was equipped with a tower with a bell.
In 1620, the - until then simple - building was embellished with a Flemish facade, designed by Frans Leenwijnsse. A few dormer windows were added to the new roof and the attic was used as a storage place for tools of war, such as halberds and the like. The coats of arms in the facade were also removed in 1798, to be replaced in 1937.
