Johannes Kerkhovenpolder

If you enjoy wide views, the countryside of the province of Groningen is where you should be! Like yesterday's photos this one also shows the Johannes Kerkhovenpolder. Johannes Kerkhoven was a banker from Amsterdam who had bought these lands to create a polder.  His ambitious plans were carried out by his heirs though, as Kerkhoven passed away before the project started in 1875.

I'm linking to signs, signs.

  6. That is big country! And beautiful sky. I have to google the word 'polder' ... I have a good guess and I am sure I should know it, but I don't....blogging is good for me, I learn new things every day. Thank you for that!
