Dike Repair and Strengthening

After the disaster, people work around the clock to repair the damaged dikes and homes. Thanks to their efforts, the flooded landscape can be redeveloped.

In caisson 3, you can see the machinery used to repair the dikes. How did they work? And what was the structure of a dike like at that time?

You can also visit an actual gift house. These wooden houses, donated by countries such as Norway, Austria, and Sweden, arrived in the Netherlands after the disaster. Many victims rebuilt their lives in these homes. What was it like to live in these houses?
