![]() Ouwerkerk36 photos from Ouwerkerk 2021-05-05 Ouwerkerk is a village in the southwest Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland, Zeeland about 60 km south of Rotterdam. During the North Sea flood of 1953 Ouwerkerk was hit hard: one in six residents died. Many buildings, including a wooden octagonal flour mill, were lost. The breach of the dike at Ouwerkerk was the last one to be closed in the night of 6 to 7 November 1953. In the four caissons that were used for the closure of the dike, the Dutch Watersnoodmuseum has been established in 2001. We visited Ouwerkerk to look for seashells in the spring of 2021.
