At Studio Blank, the legacy of sculptor Hans Blank (1952-2019) will be preserved and continued. Hans lived and worked in Den Oever and in Ireland. In addition to the Fishery Monument on the dike of Den Oever, he also made the Viking ship on the Havenweg near the VIC. The maritime and related myths and legends were central to his work.

Stevinsluizen
There are two lock complexes in the Afsluitdijk: the Lorentz locks on the Frisian side at Kornwerderzand and the Stevinsluizen at Den Oever. The complexes consist of locks, which allow ships to navigate back and forth between the IJsselmeer and Waddenzee, and discharge locks, which discharge excess IJsselmeer water into the Waddenzee at low tide.
