All Saints' Flood (1170)

Large parts of the Northern Netherlands, and Holland territories were overflowed.

The flooding North Sea created the islands of Wieringen and Texel.

Lake Flevo began to turn into the salt-water sea known as the Zuiderzee.

The flood rendered the settlement of Rotta (the predecessor of Rotterdam) uninhabitable,[2] and marked the beginning of Amsterdam, where the area gained an open connection to the sea, and where a dam was built in the Amstel to protect the land from future floods.
