Polderstad is the city near which Alfred Jodocus Kwak's house is located, in the animated series. Many stories are set in this city and it's also the hometown of Ollie de Ooievaar, Pikkie de Ekster and the sparrow triplets, among others. It is located in the country of Groot Waterland.

Notable features

Simultaneously an extremely small town featuring only several buildings (as it is depicted in the opening titles and during panning shots in episode 4 and episode 5 and also a much bigger town with many more buildings. The shipyard on top of which Ollie de Ooievaar's family's house is located is shown to be both part of the small version of this town, as well as the much bigger version.[1] Likely the viewer is not meant to take the small depiction as reality within the story.
