Photo Prints From Fine Art Storehouse
The former harbor of Schokland, Unesco site
The former island Schokland is a symbol of the traditional Dutch struggle against the water. Schokland lost its status as an island when the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed from the sea in 1942. The remains are still visible as a slightly elevated part in the polder. A major flood in 1825 brought massive destruction, and in 1859 the government decided to end permanent settlement on Schokland. Today Schokland is a popular archeological site and host to the Schokland Museum. Schokland was the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Netherlands

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the former harbor of Schokland, a UNESCO site that stands as a symbol of the traditional Dutch struggle against water. Once an island, Schokland lost its status when the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed from the sea in 1942. However, remnants of this historic place can still be seen today as a slightly elevated part in the polder. The image portrays a landscape filled with rich history and natural beauty. The house and lighthouse standing tall against the vast sky represent Dutch culture and resilience. A dried plant and tree trunk add to the rustic charm of this scene, while grass gently sways in the breeze. Schokland's story is one of triumph over adversity. Devastated by a major flood in 1825, permanent settlement on Schokland came to an end in 1859 when the government made a difficult decision for safety reasons. Today, it serves as an archaeological site drawing visitors from around the world who come to explore its fascinating past. As you gaze upon this photograph, let your imagination transport you back in time to witness firsthand how people lived and thrived amidst challenging circumstances. This remarkable print not only showcases Schokland's historical significance but also highlights its picturesque landscapes that make it such a popular travel destination within Flevoland, Netherlands' youngest province. Frans Sellies has masterfully captured both the essence and allure of this UNESCO World Heritage Site through his lens, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate its enduring legacy for
