Durgerdam and the View of Pampus
Highlight • Settlement
You can see all this from the Durgerdam dike. The dike was built in the early 1400s to protect the land from the storms on the Zuiderzee. The houses are therefore safely located just behind it. In the 17th century, the inhabitants mainly worked in shipping, but when that declined a century later, they turned to (herring) fishing. That too came to an end when the Afsluitdijk was built in 1932 and the Zuiderzee became the IJsselmeer. Now it is a protected village view. In the bend of the dike lies a square building called the 'chapel'. But it is not religious. It has had very different functions and is now a residential house. It was built in 1687 after Durgerdam was almost completely burned down in a fire. Amsterdam felt so sorry for the neighboring village that it collected money through a lottery (so even then). The chapel was built from the proceeds. With a beautiful view over the water.
