Vandflodmonument Beneden-Leeuwen

Description

Watersnoodmonumentet er et 19. århundredes mindesmærke i den hollandske by Beneden-Leeuwen, i provinsen Gelderland.
Den 1. februar 1861 fandt der en oversvømmelseskatastrofe sted ved Leeuwen på grund af driftende is. På grund af et brud på Waalbandijk blev hele Land van Maas og Waal oversvømmet, og 37 mennesker omkom. Først i maj var det meste af vandet forsvundet. Allerede året efter katastrofen blev det besluttet at oprette et mindesmærke, men realiseringen udeblev. I 1874 fejrede kong Willem III sit sølvjubilæum. Det blev besluttet at opføre et monument til minde om katastrofen og som "bevis på særlig hyldest og taknemmelighed for det, Hans Majestæt i 1861 gjorde for at lindre nøden". Monumentet blev afsløret den 28. oktober 1874.
