Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Zeeland

Sacred well created circa 690 by the Anglo-Saxon missionary Willibrord, near the sea. The historical well was demolished in 1958 during the dyke enlargements after the North Sea Flood of 1953, the current one is a replica built in 1981, about 100 meters from the original site.
According the Meertens Institute (a research institute for Dutch culture and language) the story about the well is a late 18th or early 19th century fabrication, which is peculiar in a protestant village like Zoutelande.
