'''Noord-Beveland''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈnoːrd ˌbeːvəlɑnt|-|245 Noord-Beveland.ogg}}; "North Beveland") is a [[Municipalities of the Netherlands|municipality]] and region in the southwestern [[Netherlands]] and a former [[island]], now part of the [[Walcheren]]-[[Zuid-Beveland]]-Noord-Beveland [[peninsula]]. 
Noord-Beveland is enclosed by the [[Oosterschelde]] [[estuary]] to the north, and the former [[strait]]s, now combined [[lake]], of [[Veerse Meer]] and Zandkreek to the south. As part of the [[Delta Works]], [[dam]]s have connected Noord-Beveland to Walcheren and Zuid-Beveland.

A replica of this temple was officially opened in Colijnsplaat in August 2005.<ref>Van der Velde, Koert (August 13, 2005). ''Zeeuwse godin weer thuis''. Trouw (Dutch newspaper), p. 8&ndash;9.</ref>
