Nederland - Petten, Palendorp

The village of Petten has been existing since 1300 and was originally called Petten bi der Sipe. During a storm in 1625 no less than a hundred houses were destroyed. The village disappeared completely into the sea in 1792. From the 18th century onwards, Petten was gradually relocated.

Petten's past and the struggle against the sea is emphasized by the Palendorp (Pole Village). This monument and work of art was placed in 2016. The 160 poles - six and twelve meters high - form the silhouette of a former church and ten houses. It was a gift of the contractors who carried out the project Kust op Kracht.

How fabulous! I wondered if this was some sort of artistic installation because of its symmetry and no other structure. Reading about this place and the history was astonishing. So sad. The poles make a fine memorial. Thanks for the link to the dunes project, I was just blown away by that! As always, fabulous photography Jaap!

A great monument very well captured and documented by you Jaap. Reading about this village reminds me of two of our North Yorkshire villages taken by the sea in years past too. The poles look pretty interesting and I bet they would look even better in the golden hour Well done.
