Flevoland Essentials

Flevoland is a landscape shaped by human engineering on reclaimed seabed. This list highlights its diverse landmarks, from the UNESCO-listed former island of Schokland to the land art of the Green Cathedral, which mimics Reims Cathedral using Lombardy poplars. Visitors can explore maritime history at the Batavia shipyard, view historic aircraft at Aviodrome, or observe wild horses and deer at the Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve. The province also features the historic fishing village of Urk and modern sites like the 30-meter Zuil van Lely.
