Desolation

After the construction of the world famous "Afsluitdijk" the North Sea was definitively separated from the very dangerous "Zuiderzee", creating the "IJsselmeer".

As a result fishing disappeared , and many thousands of peoples became unemployed.

 

The buidlings of this industry also fell out of use and became in disrepair, such as the former fish auction in Laaxum (Friesland)
