See-through panels are corten steel frames with a transparent plate. On that plate, a drawing visualises an object/activity that is not (or no longer) visible in the landscape. Through the correct perspective of the drawing and the correct positioning of the frame, the drawing is as it were projected into the current landscape. In this way, a special event or a former structure that stood at a specific location can come back to life for a while. Via the vista panels, we make the special history and unique story of Northeast Polder more visible.

See-through panels are corten steel frames with a transparent plate. On that plate, a drawing visualises an object/activity that is not (or no longer) visible in the landscape. Through the correct perspective of the drawing and the correct positioning of the frame, the drawing is as it were projected into the current landscape. In this way, a special event or a former structure that stood at a specific location can come back to life for a while. Via the vista panels, we make the special history and unique story of Northeast Polder more visible.
The see-through panel Oud-Kraggenburg tells the story of a former peninsula in the Zuiderzee, with a lighthouse built on a mound. Oud-Kraggenburg served as a beacon for shipping to Zwolle and offered ships a safe port of refuge during fog and storms. Today, the mound sits high above the fields of the reclaimed polder land. The lighthouse standing on top of the house, with its red roof, is therefore visible from afar.
Old Kraggenburg still exists and is even still inhabited. Being a national monument, it is usually opened to the public every year during Open Monument Day (early September). The rest of the year, you can only admire Old Kraggenburg from a distance. And so also learn more about it via the information on the vista panel. You can drive up to Kadoelerweg, then walk along the shell path to the vista panel.
