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.

Which counrty has polders reclaimed from the sea?
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.
