The Ice Breakers

The Rozewerf is a little group of wooden houses situated just besides the dike of the island Marken. The island is situated in the former sea IJsselmeer, now called Markermeer. In strong winters the water of the IJsselmeer was frozen. In order to protect the Rozewerf against crossing ice at the end of the winter, these ice breakers were built (in the year 1872).
