Dutch design studio Anne Holtrop has completed the local Waterline museum. The site is located on an early military defense base built in the 19th century, which is inaccessible due to the deliberate flooding of much of the site. Along the "New Dutch Waterline", which stretches for 85 km, there are multiple forts and it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The studio took a sculptural approach, using the shape of the surrounding terrain to inform the building. Most of the building is underground, with two dark brown concrete patios visible from above. The patio features a spectacular 50-metre-long model that includes the entire waterline of rivers, lakes and rocks. Visitors will be able to stroll through the replica pool and redraw the flood defenses, opening various locks and filling the replica pool with water

The front of the museum is the original brick barracks, reminiscent of a group of bunkers. The rest of the museum is also devoted to showing how the Dutch used water as a weapon of self-defense between 1588 and 1940. The gallery and auditorium are centered around the courtyard, telling personal stories, displaying original objects and reproductions, working models and digital media.
