The Gemaal Vissering is a functionalist pumping station in Urk, Netherlands, designed by architect Dirk Roosenburg. Built to serve the water management needs of this former island community, the station exemplifies early-twentieth-century industrial design principles, with its austere, purpose-driven aesthetic reflecting the modernist ideals of the era. Now designated a Rijksmonument, the building stands as a testament to both the engineering infrastructure crucial to Dutch hydraulic management and the architectural innovations of functionalism in the Netherlands.
