It's based off the Sint Willibrordus Church in Westkapelle, completed in 1470. Throughout the years parts of it were destroyed until only the tower was standing. It was converted to a lighthouse in 1802 and miraculously survived heavy bombing by the allies during WWII, it's still serving as a lighthouse today.

This is a cool video! I watch a lot of countryball history videos, and this video gives a little more detail about what countries might have looked like back then, I might watch more videos like this some other time in the future
It's very realistic, definitely the 1980 to 2025 part. I see a lot of photos from that time where there are parking spaces there and now there is just a park or something
awesome to see another European version of this trend, especially for a region with so much history to explore and such distinctive architecture. great video well done :)
You did a very good job when it comes to being historically accurate with the roman architecture and other details, you dont see that in other videos like these. good job.
@@Crested_Penguin I'd say that's because this was a genuine little passion project, I just love Dutch architecture and history so details like the church's appearance changing over time come naturally. I don't think I'd be able to do one of the same quality of a Spanish city for example because I just don't have the same interest in Spanish architecture or history and haven't spent years studying it and growing up around it.
Прикольно.👍 Переход на Вторую Мировую войну меня даже напугал😨 Пожалуй наибольшее впечатление на меня произвели ww2 и 2025 год, , из-за контракта между ними. Они как противоположности друг другу - разрушенный войной город, наполненный звуками перестрелок, разрывов снарядов и бомб, и умиротворённый 2025 год, в котором восстановленный после войны город является уютным и спокойным местом, в котором царят тишина и умиротворение.
Very cool! Suggestion if you ever make a second version: You could make a 1800 one with French flags waving in the street. Also neoclassicism was a hot architecture style those days, so you could remake the Roman temple, but now as a 18th/19th century building (example is the City Hall of Groningen).
I think i used the teleport command to teleport me to the exact spot and then you can also enter a value for the direction you want to face. I made this video 9 months ago so im not sure what the exact command was.
@@knaagdier Id like to see Florida through the years. Just take a look at the history of South Florida, that area has changed SO much through the years... especially Miami/Ft. Lauderdale (things definitely didn't change as much up here in the panhandle, which is my neck of the woods)
@knaagdier this is the first time i have known such incident where a land was originally submerged but resurfaced later, lands that usually had been flooded never resurface back while others never experience such thing.
@@Halo_Legend It was renovated somewhere in the 19th century, all of the wood was replaced by brick and only the front of the building was kept wooden simply because the owner wanted to keep it. You can see the bricks appear in the industrial revolution and fully revealed in the 1980's. It's loosely based on a real building in Middelburg.
This is actually such a cool way to show how a place changes over time
Yeeeeah!!
You are right
that church stayed strong for centuries
I am from the Netherlands the church in my town was built in the 900s (even do it has been renovated and expanded throughout the years)

That transition to WW2 👌
Big fan of this video, especially the sounds from RDR2
That little house next to the crossroad survived a thousand years.
Where is Dutch van der Linde
I noticed the red dead ambiance too
He’s in Tahiti harvesting mangoes
@@Whiskey-cr9dqI got a plan arthur
Geweldig! Bravo! Die C1000 was wel leuke toevoeging!
there the shipyard and Saint Denis rdr2 ambient sound 💀
Shits gonna be 5500BC again in the year 2100 😅
Haha
It's gonna come even quicker considering the party that just won the election 😭😭
Knowing the Dutch, it’s probably gonna go in reverse for them
@@darkpandalord3844also why did you feel the need to bring politics into this
No
very creative video, nice work, i like that you demonstrated a combination of different dutch cities in this video
This is so cool. Great idea!
really cool idea id love to see more
This is a cool video! I watch a lot of countryball history videos, and this video gives a little more detail about what countries might have looked like back then, I might watch more videos like this some other time in the future
Am I the only one who loves the idea of 700 BC? I think it's really cool how it can give you that feeling of antiquity.
Underrated
Great video! I loved the simpler style of buildings
Rip c1000😢
Awesome video, would love to see more with different countries/regions.
I love how in 1980 there's C1000 (a Dutch supermarket chain) but in 2025 it no longer exists 😂😂
I like the detail of the flags changing, also I visited the Netherlands in 2022 and the 2025 depiction is so accurate
"bro Minecraft is just a game"
Also Minecraft:
The fact that this was made on a superflat world is too accurate. Where I live there's literally not a hill in sight, it's scary flat
It's very realistic, definitely the 1980 to 2025 part. I see a lot of photos from that time where there are parking spaces there and now there is just a park or something
This is beautiful, man
Love it❤️

0:27 THE SOUNDS FROM RDR2 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMFAO
You've gon insane
@@soledit567 Yes I did! Can't you see that??😅😅
Seeing the WW2 sent shivers down my spine
Lots of people died, homes destroyed, many displaced....
awesome idea!
Puoi fare il video della storia di Istanbul su Minecraft come è questo video che hai fatto
Do more! Would love to see like an Italian city evolution and etc
What a cool way to show history! u should make more of these they r so cool
Man, thank you! It's really nice to see that someone is trying to add gamefication into education system!
Really cool concept!
Yourecthe only one who made the best dutch styled city!😅
Wilhelmus Van Nassouwe, Ben Ick van Duytschen bloet, Den Vaderlant getrouwe
Very cool i sub hope you do more
Please do more of these
Could you do a New York City one next?
New York city is a perfect idea for this format
Very god video :)
Could you do something based on wales? Maybe around west wales near aberystwyth
Прикольно.👍

@@knaagdier thank you for answer
Pls make more, maybe France?
I hear rdr2 sounds
Can you do an italian city through the year next?
@@vasoooooo-gu1wj Maybe, I'm not very familiar with the complete history and how the architecture evolved though so it'd take a bit of research.
@@knaagdier what about a canadian one

@@knaagdier alr take ur time bro
Can u do Dublin next?
Amazing
cool video
This is really cool, I'm thinking about doing a american one myself
@@JustJory Nice, I've seen some people in the comments interested in a Florida/Fort Lauderdale and a New York one. Could be pretty cool.
dude do more videos like this
ocean in 5500 BC? how did the land form so quickly 😂
Dutch engineering
The start was diabolical
I love this trend more plz
Nice video!
Thank you
@@knaagdierNp

Cool👍！
If you're planning to make another one of these please do new york city.
We need more

Cool as hell

Don't let Bangdoodle Uwhenoweeokenowek see this🙏
Cool!
hmm why is the sound effects kinda familiar
2:16 is so sad ww2
Maastricht?
was netherlands underwater during the neolithic times that only came to surface later?
@@MTC008 a large area of the western coastline was flooded during this time, by 1500 BC it had dried up again.
@knaagdier this is the first time i have known such incident where a land was originally submerged but resurfaced later, lands that usually had been flooded never resurface back while others never experience such thing.
Pretty cool
Please do more of these with other European cities! 🇪🇺
Is dit Rotterdam ofzo met de 1940 situatie
Why did the wooden building not burn?

Did you use rdr2 sounds?
are some of these sounds from rdr2?
Was de toevoeging van de C1000 zo nodig? 😢
Red dead sound affects hell yeah
Please make a Turkish one!
Is this rdr2 ambients
I think it’s the one for Saint Denis
Yes.
dit is episch
Bro put red dead redemption in the background
