Nieuwe Bildtdijk

The Nieuwe Bildtdijk, "Nije dyk" in the local language of "Het Bildts", is a dike in the Dutch municipality Waadhoeke which was built around the year 1600 to protect the land from flooding.

Nowadays a narrow road runs along the top of the dike and many houses and farmhouses are situated on this dike, mainly on the northern side.

The Nieuwe Bildtdijk superseded the older more inland dike, the Oude Bildtdijk.

At the eastern end is a small village called Nieuwe Bildtzijl and at the western end is the hamlet Zwarte Haan.
