You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.86.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Bant''' is one of the so-called green villages ''(Dutch: groendorpen)'' in the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] province of [[Flevoland]]. It is a part of the municipality of [[Noordoostpolder]], and lies about 7&nbsp;km north of [[Emmeloord]].

==Name==
The name Bant is derived from the estates of ''Bant'' or ''Bantega'', which at one point existed in what is now the municipality of [[De Fryske Marren]], and extended into the area that is now the [[Noordoostpolder]].

==History==

===Prison camp===
After [[World War II]], before the founding of Bant, the site was used as a [[Pursuit of Nazi collaborators|prisoner camp]] for Nazi-collaborators under the name ''Kamp Westvaart''. The camp was accommodated with watchtowers and armed guards. Several prominent collaborators served sentences in the camp. Jan Gunnink, former head of the KP-Meppel, a prominent resistance movement during the war, served as camp commander.

The camp was subject of a social experiment, in which prisoners were offered a contract in which they declared they would not resist and fight in exchange for free movement within the camp. Every prisoner signed the contract. The experiment was later cancelled, but because every prisoner kept to their promises, they were set free. Remaining sentences were instead served out as regular labourer.

===Founding===
Modern Bant was designed by the board of the Wieringermmer, one of whose jobs was to design and oversee the construction of ten settlements in the Noordoostpolder around the town of Emmeloord. Bant was thus founded in 1951 to the north of Emmeloord, which was founded in 1943, in land reclaimed from the [[IJsselmeer]].

===Recent history===
In 1998, part of the children's movie [[The Flying Liftboy]], known in Dutch as ''Abeltje'' was shot in the town. The town's formerly reformed church, not the Bantsiliek, served as an important piece of decor behind the department store in which the protagonist worked as an elevator boy. In an important scene, the elevator is sent flying out of the elevator shaft, and the church features prominently. The church building has since been sold to a private owner.

Bant celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2011.

==Facilities==

===Bantsiliek===
[[File:Bant Bantsiliek-1.JPG|300px|thumb|The ''Bantsiliek'' in Bant]]

In 1955, a Catholic church was built in Bant, and was given the name ''Bantsiliek'', a portmanteau of Bant and ''basiliek'', the Dutch word for basilica. The church was dedicated to [[Ludger]]. At first the church was part of to the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Utrecht|Diocese of Utrecht]], but was later transferred to the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Groningen-Leeuwarden|Diocese of Groningen]]. As the population growth in Bant fell behind expectations, the parish was merged with the parishes in [[Creil]], dedicated to [[Saint Nicholas|Nicholas]], and [[Rutten, Netherlands|Rutten]], dedicated to [[Servatius of Tongeren|Servatius]] in 1991. The new parish was named "The Good Shepherd" ''(Dutch: De Goede Herder)''. In 2001 the churches in Bant and Creil were shut down due to falling numbers of churchgoers. Their inventories were largely incorporated in the church in Rutten.

After 2001, the church building was re-purposed as the new location of the municipal initiative ''Samen op Weg'', which aimed to unite the various Dutch Protestant churches and house them together in the same church building. The other church buildings were sold and the main hall of the Bantsiliek was divided in two, a church hall and a reception area. The chapel dedicated to Maria remained as a place of silence. Large parts of the church have been modified and the church was ready for use on Saturday 27 November 2004, and was officially commissioned on Sunday 23 January 2005.

In 2009, the church, designed by Antonius Vosman Junior, took part in the finals round of "The Most Beautiful Church of the Netherlands" ''(Dutch: De Mooiste Kerk van Nederland)'' of the [[NCRV]] radio-programme ''Plaza''. The church received the most votes, but the jury elected the Sint-Willibrordusbasiliek in [[Hulst]] as winner instead.

===Others===
Bant is also home to two elementary schools, a sporting club, a holiday park, a small industrial area, a driving school and a supermarket, as well as several bars and restaurants. Every five year, Bant is the scene of a major town feast.

==Transportation==
Bant lies on the crossroads of the provincial roads N715 and N718, the latter of which ends in Bant and extends north beyond Bant as the Lemsterweg. The N715 leads to Creil in the west, and an on-ramp onto the nearby [[A6 motorway (Netherlands)|A6 motorway]], beyond which it connects to [[Kuinre]] via the N351, and [[Luttelgeest]]. The N718 due south runs parallel to the A6 and leads to Emmeloord. Taking the Lemsterweg north leads to [[Lemmer]], and also provides access to [[Rutten, Netherlands|Rutten]].

Bant has no railway station. The nearest stations are [[Kampen railway station]] in [[Kampen, Overijssel|Kampen]], [[Steenwijk railway station]] in [[Steenwijk]] and [[Lelystad Centrum railway station]] in [[Lelystad]].

Bant is, however, connected by bus. The following bus line services Bant:
