These distinctive traditional outfits −some of the most striking in the Netherlands− are the result of Axel’s centuries-long isolation.

The town and the fields around it were surrounded by wide estuaries, which meant that the inhabitants rarely left the island and few visitors came to stay. As Calvinists, they didn’t have much need for contact with the Catholics to the east anyway, and while their neighbours in the west shared the same Protestant faith, they were so poor and lived such frugal lives they might as well have been a world away.

The town flourished for a long time, the nutritious marine clay on the fields guaranteeing abundant harvests. Fishermen only had to lower their nets to be guaranteed a good catch. The town’s location on the West Scheldt river also meant it benefitted from passing trade headed for Antwerp and Ghent.
