Description
Looking back towards the North Sea
Den Haag / Scheveningen.
These large doors were the main defence against ultra high tide, when the waves would be crashing in.. They saved the whole province of South Holland in 1953.
A new dam has been put between the sea and this construction (1890 ad) in 1977. So salt sea water is no longer in this canal.
