Historically, the original De Meerpaal was designed by architect Frank Van Klingeren in the 1960s during the creation of the Flevoland polder, and it influenced the design of integrated facilities such as the agora of Évry in the French new towns and the CEPASC at La Villeneuve. The agora was both a multipurpose hall and an indoor public space, capable of hosting cultural and sporting activities with great flexibility, including sports matches and public events. The current De Meerpaal continues this legacy as a multifunctional cultural venue in Dronten.
