Vatevijver Pond
Highlight • Lake
A vat was constructed to collect rainwater, usually in the immediate vicinity of the church. This was crucial in the construction of a polder village, an environment where there is a lot of brackish, unusable water. The vate was at the same time a drinking water well, watering place, water supply for washing and fire-fighting water supply. The Vatevijver was first mentioned in 1404.
In the past, women would go to the Vate pond to bleach their laundry. It was forbidden to wash wool or pour soapy water or other dirt into it. It was the inspectors who were responsible for the cleanliness of the vate water.
