Sirjansland

Sirjansland is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland.

It is a part of the municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland, and lies about 19 km south of Hellevoetsluis.

The village was first mentioned in 1573 as "Zeer Jans Lant", and means "(polder)land of Sir Jan" which refers to John of Beaumont who owned the land, and built dikes around the area in 1305.

[3] Before 1297, Sirjanslans and Dreischor formed a single village.

During the North Sea flood of 1953, it was severely damaged.
