Description

Beijerland, an area in the province of South Holland that is also called'Hoeksche Waard\\\', consists of about sixty polders. The current Hoeksche Waard was created after the St. Elisabeth Flood of 1421, which flooded the area. This flood drastically changed the watercourses in the area. Most of the dikes in the landscape were built between 1538 and 1653. In Mijnsheerenland you can see an eighteenth-century country house on the Hof van Moerkerken. The history of the Hof van Moerkerken goes back to 1440, when the first craftsman of Moerkerke, Belgium, settled here. Traditionally, the house has been inhabited by the craftsmen. The building was renovated around 1796 and got its current appearance. Before the Second World War the house was used as a refugee shelter, after the war the building was used to house recovering tuberculosis patients. Since 2007, the Hof van Moerkerken is privately owned. It is supervised by Monumentenzorg.
