Floods

Ruisbroek (14 January 1976)

Ruisbroek is a polder village protected by dikes which has often seen severe flooding. In 1820, a whole neighbourhood was flooded, and was rebuilt north of the Rupel River. The last flood which occurred was a result of the gale of January 1976.[4] The dike broke over a distance of 100 metres, and flooded part of the village.[5] King Baudouin of Belgium visited the town on 6 January 1976. During his visit he was confronted with an angry crowd and accusations.[6] De Waterhoek monument indicates the height the water reached.[5]
