Reimerswaal (city)

Reimerswaal (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌrɛimərsˈʋaːl] ⓘ) is a lost city in the Netherlands.

The city was destroyed by repeated floods, and the last citizens left in 1632.

It was located north of the current municipality, on the east end of the Oosterschelde, on land which is now called the Verdronken Land van Reimerswaal ("Drowned Land of Reimerswaal").

The site of the city has been recognized as a national archeological monument and is buried under the Oesterdam.
