There are over a dozen countries that have polders, but Holland (also known as the Netherlands) has the most and is the country most famous for them. Because so much of the land lies below sea level, it is necessary to build dikes or embankments to hold back the ocean water and prevent flooding. The Dutch first started building polders about a thousand years ago and there are now about 3,000 in their country.
Polders are low lying tracts of land usually protected by embankments or dikes. Comes from a Dutch word 'poire' Land claimed from water covered sources, lakes and seas.
I don't really know what 'land that was reclaimed' you mean, there are multiple areas where first was water and now is land. But if you mean "de Zuiderzee", there where first was sea and now is land (the biggest area that was reclaimed): The Dutch build a big dike (called "de Afsluitdijk"), making "de Zuiderzee" a lake and no longer a part of the sea. This lake, which was and still is called "het IJsselmeer" isn't completely made into land however, only some of the southern parts and some other smaller parts around the lake. These southern parts of the former "Zuiderzee" that now lie there are called "Flevoland" and the "Noordoostpolder". And if you simply mean how any reclaimed land would be called in the Netherlands, they usually call it a polder. I hope this answers the question.
Coastal sea. SM Mall of Asia (MoA) in Pasay City, Philippines is built on what used to be coastal water, then covered by soil, or the buildings are on reclaimed land.

in the Netherlands we call reclaimed land "polders"
polders
The Dutch call their area of land reclaimed from the sea "polders." These are low-lying lands enclosed by dikes where water is drained to create arable land. Polders are a notable feature of the Dutch landscape and have helped expand their habitable territory.
The European nation that has had much land reclaimed from the sea is the Netherlands. Much of the nation is below sea level and is protected by a vast system of dikes that hold the water back.
Polders are areas of low-lying land that have been reclaimed from the sea or rivers and are protected by dikes or walls to prevent flooding. They are common in countries like the Netherlands and are used for agriculture or residential purposes. Drainage systems are essential to keep polders dry and usable.
The land reclaimed from the sea is called a polder. The country that consists mostly of polders is called the Netherlands.
Polders are generally associated with The Netherlands (Holland). They are low-lying tracts of land enclosed by embankments (barriers) known as dikes that form artificial hydrological entities.
Empoldering normally refers to the creation of polders. A polder is the Polder-Dutch word for reclaimed land
Land reclaimed from the sea is often referred to as reclamation land or land reclamation. It involves altering coastlines or waterways to create new land for various purposes such as urban development or agriculture.
about half of the area of the Netherlands has been reclaimed from the sea, forming polders
A polder is a low-lying tract of land that forms an artificial hydrological entity, enclosed by embankments known as dikes. The most notable example of polder construction is the system developed adjacent to the IJsselmeer (Zuiderzee) in the Netherlands. The Netherlands has a large area of polders: as much as 20% of the land area has at some point in the past been reclaimed from the sea, thus contributing to the development of the country. Therefore, the European country that would create a polder is most likely the Netherlands. However, other countries such as Belgium, Germany, and France also have some polders.
