Since the first constructed dikes at the Zuiderzee did not offer sufficient protection against the water, the dikes were reinforced in several places with a pile construction from the 15th century. Long rows of posts of oak and / or coniferous wood were placed next to each other at the pile dike, which were mutually connected and anchored in the ground by means of cross beams.
