Nowadays Ruigoord is inhabited by artists and "masters in the art of living", situated in the Amsterdam western harbour area. But Ruigoord ('t Ruyghe Oort) used to be an island, untill the digging of the North Sea Canal (1865-1876). It took a lot of protest, resistance, procedures and willpower to prevent the total demolition of this artistic free state.
