Welcome to the sea bed........ - a photo on Flickriver

Welcome to the sea bed........

            On the "Middelbuurt", the most densely populated residential mound of the former island of Schokland is a little church where the islanders, engaged in a fierce struggle for existance and the battle against the water, also invoked heavenly powers.
This little church in an austere neoclassical style dates from 1834 and was paid for by the State.
A stone church stood on the same site from 1717, which was irreparably damaged in the storm disaster of 1825 and for which this church was built.
The little church and its adjacent presbytery is the only building remaining on this residential mound of the former island of Schokland after the evacuation of the island in 1859.
Both the church, presbytery and the residential mound were protected from the vagaries of the former "Zuiderzee" by a heavy wooden palisade and a piece of dike made of basalt stones.
The wooden building on the left is a replica of the ice-fleet barn that took its place as the shelter of the ice-fleet that was vital in harsh winters.
This was a boat under which liders were attached so that it could be pulled across the ice like a sled........
