The Watersnoodmuseum in Ouwerkerk is housed in four caissons that were used to seal the breached dikes in Zeeland after the catastrophic flood of 1953, in which more than 1,800 people lost their lives. The museum tells the story of that disaster through personal accounts, photographs and objects. The caissons themselves serve as a tangible monument to the event.
