The Markiezaatskade is a 4 km (2.5 mi) long dam between Zuid-Beveland and the Molenplaat near Bergen op Zoom.[1] The dam was built in preparation for the construction of the Oesterdam, which was built a few years later. In combination with the Oesterdam, Philipsdam and Volkerakdam it divides the waters of Zeeland and South Holland.
