It is now all under water in front of the town...Friedrichstadt...was, in 1620, a Friesland village, called Seebiil. Duke Frederick III., of Schleswig-Holstein, being applied to by a number of fugitives from Holland, persecuted Arminians, or remonstrants, permitted them to settle in this village, with full liberty to retain their own religious faith and forms.
