Highlight • Historical Site
The Waterschans of Bergen op Zoom, located at the old harbor mouth and part of the West Brabant waterline, was built in 1584. The Waterschans is the oldest fortification in this city, built on the initiative of Prince William of Orange. He had also been Marquis of Bergen op Zoom since 1582. The function of the Waterschans was to defend the harbor entrance, the key to the city.

On the other side is 1574, in the year 1574 a naval battle took place at Bergen op Zoom. The battle was fought between the Zeeland and Holland cities that took on the Spanish. This Battle of Reimerswaal during the Eighty Years’ War was lost by the Spanish.
Almost all the pillars are in the water, two of which are just on the quay. According to the artist, this is a deliberate choice. Although the windvanes are on land, that used to be the place where there was water. In this way, the artwork not only looks back to 1574, but also to the time when the Bergse Plaat was still a long way off.
