Oude Maas
Puttershoek was partially flooded during the big North Sea flood of 1953. After the flood the dike along the Oude Maas was raised. For this, nearly half of the old town (the Weverseinde dike) was torn down between 1964 and 1966. The monumental 17th-century farm "Rustenburg" burnt down in 1997 and was demolished.
