== History == The lake must have been 340 hectares in size and 3 to 4 meters deep, before it was drained in 1627, together with two other Waterland lakes; the Belmer and Broeker lake. The lakes were probably formed due to the erosion of worn-down peatland (the 'water wolf'). The soil of the polder - no marine clay - turned out to be only suitable as pasture.
