	Texel 533 photos from Texel (North-Holland, Netherlands) 2019-07-29 - 2019-08-02 Texel is a municipality and an island with a population of 13,641 in the province of North Holland. It is the largest and most populated island of the West Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea. The island is situated north of Den Helder, northeast of Noorderhaaks and southwest of Vlieland. The All Saints` Flood (1170) created the islands of Texel and Wieringen from North Holland. Texel received city rights in 1415. Texel was involved in the Battle of Scheveningen (1653) during the First Anglo-Dutch War and the Battle of Texel (1673) during the Third Anglo-Dutch War. Texel is also famous in military history as the only place where a navy was defeated on horseback. Occupying Holland in January 1795, the French continental army learned that the mighty Dutch navy had been frozen into the ice around Texel, so Commandant Louis Joseph Lahure and 128 men rode up to it and demanded surrender. No shots were fired. During the First World War in 1914, the Battle off Texel took place off the coast of Texel. On the night of 31 August 1940, the sea to the northwest of Texel was the scene of the sinking of two British destroyers and the severe damage of a third by German mines in what is known as the Texel Disaster. At the end of World War II, the Georgian Uprising of Texel took place on the island. We visited Texel in the summer of 2019.
