Historie

De oorspronkelijke eerste dijk van de Voisepolder is in de tweede helft van de 13e aangelegd, hierna volgde dijkherstel in 1639 en 1711.

In de 19e eeuw werd tegen de dijk van de Elizabethpolder (een afgescheiden deel van de Voisepolder) ons huis gebouwd als boeren / arbeidershuis.
Op een detailkaart 1856 -1866 (Grote Historische ProvincieAtlas van Zeeland; heruitgave Wolters Noordhoff 1992) is de woning al herkenbaar

Rond 1550 zijn monniken begonnen met de inpoldering van de Elizabethpolder.
Op een overzichtstekening omgeving Breskens van Kuyper is in 1866 de Elisabethpolder al ingetekend. Met een blauwe pijl heb ik de ligging van het huis gemarkeerd.

De Hoofdplaatseweg is door de boeren in de periode 1800 tot 1930 gebruikt als belangrijke handelsweg tussen de polders in de omgeving Groede / Nieuwvliet en de haven in Hoofdplaat. Halverweg de rit rustte de boer uit in een huiskamercafé op de Hoofdplaatseweg 7. Het paard werd extra verzorgd in de schuur. Begin 1900 woonde Sien Loose met zijn 10 kinderen in het huis. Tijdens en vlak na de 2e wereldoorlog heeft ook nog een andere familie ingewoond bij Sien Loose. Onlangs (maart 2007) ontmoetten wij mevr. Steyaert
- van Houte en haar 3e dochter geboren in 1945. Mevrouw Steyaert vertelde dat zij in de linkerzijde van de woning samen met haar 3 kinderen enkele jaren heeft gewoond. Zij herkende de woning door alle verbouwingen in de latere jaren nauwelijks meer terug. De woonkamer was toen gesplist door een volledige muur, met een trapopgang naar de bovenverdieping. Tot de beginjaren 50 van de vorige eeuw liep er vlak voor het huis een treinspoor Breskens - Maldegem.

Juli 2020 staan onaangekondigd 4 personen voor onze deur, een van de personen maakt zich bekend als oud bewoner. De heer Pierre Béghin heeft hier vanaf 1957 gewoond. Als inwoner van Brussel vonden hij en zijn vrouw toen al veel te druk om de kinderen op straat te laten spelen. Hier vonden ze de rust en ruimte. Hij was er trots op, dat de door hem gemaakte open haard er nog steeds is.

De vorige eigenaars (familie Kon) hebben in de jaren 70 en 80 van de vorige eeuw het huis flink gerenoveerd, elektriciteit vernieuwd, sanitair uitgebreid, een eetkamer met kelder aangebouwd.

Recent (2005) is in de directe omgeving van het woonhuis de rondweg Breskens aangelegd. Deze weg heeft de naam gekregen Sterrebosdijk. Bij graafwerkzaamheden toen is de sloot achter het perceel opnieuw uitgediept. Op de foto zijn duidelijk de oude lagen zeeklei, schelpenafzettingen en oorspronkelijk zeegrond zichtbaar

De oorspronkelijke weg over de dijk aan de zijkant van het woonhuis is nu verdiept en loopt via een zgn landbouwtunneltje onder de rondweg door.
In 2012 is een deel van de annex (garage en werkkamer) afgebrand. In 2013 is een tuinkamer en slaapkamer gebouwd door aannemer Buize uit Nieuwvliet. De nieuwe ruimtes maken de woning toekomstvast, o.a. door het gelijkvloersmaken van diverse voorzieningen (toegang met een rolstoel).

Storia della nostra casa e del territorio circostante

Su una mappa dettagliata 1856 -1866 (Grote Historische Provincie Atlas van Zeeland; ripubblicata Wolters Noordhoff 1992) la casa è già riconoscibile Intorno al 1550 i monaci iniziarono la bonifica dell'Elizabethpolder. Nel 1866, l'Elisabethpolder era già stato disegnato su un disegno panoramico nell'area di Breskens di Kuyper. Con una freccia blu ho segnato la posizione della casa.

Nel periodo dal 1800 al 1930, l'Hoofdplaatseweg fu utilizzato dagli agricoltori come un'importante via commerciale tra i polder nell'area Groede / Nieuwvliet e il porto di Hoofdplaat. A metà del viaggio, il contadino si riposò in un bar in Hoofdplaatseweg 7. Il cavallo è stato curato in modo particolare nella stalla. All'inizio del 1900, Sien Loose viveva nella casa con i suoi 10 figli. Durante e subito dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, un'altra famiglia visse con Sien Loose. Recentemente (marzo 2007) abbiamo incontrato la signora Steyaert- van Houte e la sua 3ª figlia, nata nel 1945. La signora Steyaert ha detto di aver vissuto nella parte sinistra della casa con i suoi 3 figli per diversi anni. Non riconobbe quasi più la casa a causa di tutti i lavori di ristrutturazione degli anni successivi. Il soggiorno è stato poi diviso da un'intera parete, con una scala che portava al piano superiore.

Fino ai primi anni '50 del secolo scorso, c'era una linea ferroviaria Breskens - Maldegem proprio di fronte alla casa. Luglio 2020, 4 persone si presentano alla nostra porta senza preavviso, una delle persone si identifica come ex residente. Il signor Pierre Béghin vive qui dal 1957. Essendo residente a Bruxelles, lui e sua moglie pensavano che fosse troppo affollato per lasciare che i bambini giocassero per strada. Qui hanno trovato pace e spazio. Era orgoglioso del fatto che il camino che aveva fatto fosse ancora lì. Negli anni '70 e '80 del secolo scorso, i precedenti proprietari (famiglia Kon) hanno ristrutturato notevolmente la casa, rinnovato l'elettricità, ampliato l'impianto idraulico, aggiunto una sala da pranzo con cantina.

Recentemente (2005) è stata costruita la circonvallazione di Breskens nelle immediate vicinanze della casa. A questa strada è stato dato il nome di Sterrebosdijk. Durante i lavori di scavo, il fossato dietro il terreno è stato nuovamente approfondito. Nella foto sono ben visibili i vecchi strati di argilla marina, i depositi di conchiglie e i fondali marini originali.

La strada originale sopra la diga sul lato della casa è stata ora approfondita e corre sotto la circonvallazione attraverso un cosiddetto tunnel agricolo.

Nel 2012, una parte dell'annesso (garage e ufficio) è andata a fuoco. Nel 2013 una stanza da giardino e una camera da letto sono state costruite dall'appaltatore Buize di Nieuwvliet. I nuovi spazi rendono la casa a prova di futuro, tra l'altro grazie al gusto del piano terra di vari servizi (accesso con sedia a rotelle).

History of our house and the surroundings

In the 19th century, against the dike of the Elizabethpolder (a separate part of the Voisepolder) our house was built as a farmer's / workers' house.
The house is already recognizable on a detailed map 1856 -1866 (Grote Historische ProvincieAtlas van Zeeland; republished Wolters Noordhoff 1992)

Around 1550, monks started the reclamation of the Elizabethpolder.
In 1866, the Elisabethpolder was already drawn on an overview drawing in the Breskens area by Kuyper. With a blue arrow I marked the location of the house.

In the period 1800 to 1930, the Hoofdplaatseweg was used by the farmers as an important trade route between the polders in the area Groede / Nieuwvliet and the harbour in Hoofdplaat. Halfway through the ride, the farmer rested in a living room café at Hoofdplaatseweg 7. The horse was given extra care in the barn. In the early 1900s, Sien Loose lived in the house with his 10 children. During and just after the 2nd World War, another family also lived with Sien Loose. Recently (March 2007) we met Mrs. Steyaertrod / Nieuwvliet and the harbour in Hoofdplaat. Halfway through the ride, the farmer rested in a living room café at Hoofdplaatseweg 7.

Recently (March 2007) we met Mrs. Steyaert- van Houte and her 3rd daughter, born in 1945. Mrs. Steyaert said that she lived in the left side of the house with her 3 children for several years. She hardly recognized the house anymore because of all the renovations in the later years. The living room was then split by an entire wall, with a staircase to the upper floor. Until the early 50s of the last century, there was a train track Breskens - Maldegem right in front of the house. July 2020, 4 people show up at our door unannounced, one of the people identifies himself as a former resident. Mr. Pierre Béghin has lived here since 1957. As a resident of Brussels, he and his wife thought it was too busy to let the children play in the street. Here they found peace and space. He was proud of the fact that the fireplace he made is still there.In the 70s and 80s of the last century, the previous owners (Kon family) renovated the house considerably, renewed electricity, expanded plumbing, added a dining room with cellar.

Recently (2005) the Breskens ring road was built in the immediate vicinity of the house. This road has been given the name Sterrebosdijk. During excavation work, the ditch behind the plot was deepened again. In the photo, the old layers of marine clay, shell deposits and original seabed are clearly visible

.
The original road over the dike on the side of the house has now been deepened and runs under the ring road via a so-called agricultural tunnel.
In 2012, part of the annex (garage and office) burned down. In 2013 a garden room and bedroom were built by contractor Buize from Nieuwvliet. The new spaces make the house future-proof, among other things due to the ground floor taste of various facilities (access with a wheelchair).
