Espel was the name of a village on the former island of Urk, which was
reclaimed by the sea in de Middle Ages. On the village
homepage one can read:
In 1956 the building of the villlage of Espel was started. Espel
was and still is a flourishing community with a present population of 1400.
In the center of the village is a "ducdalf" (dolphin) topped by
a statue of bronze flying birds.
