City/town information

This historic 17th century city is only 6kms away from the house, reachable by bicycle or by car. It was one of the harbour towns of the VOC (Dutch East Indies Company) and in mid-17th century was one of the most powerful and important cities in the Netherlands. It is still home to one of the largest marinas in the country. You can take boat trips to and from the port to Medemblik or hire a sailboat or "sloep" to sail the city or in the inner sea. It is called the Haringstad (Herring Town). The fishing water is now fresh water and the fish changed from fishes like herring and anchovy to eel, smelt and red perch. Tourism is a large part of the local economy apart from being the home for big seed production companies like Syngenta and Monsanto. There is a local station station which offers direct rail service to Hoorn and Amsterdam Central. Also there are summer ferries for pedestrians and cyclists to go to Stavoren, Medemblik and Urk.

This over 650 years old town is definitely one of the gems in West Friesland. We love Hoorn for its regal and charming air despite being a small town of approximately (mere) 70,000 people. Definitely worth a visit to see the Hoofdtoren and the old city centre where the VOC port used to be when it was a prosperous centre of trade during the Dutch Indies (Indonesia) colonisation period. Hoorn has very high number of surviving 17th and 18th century houses especially around the harbour area. Check out the Protestant Church on Kerkplein, de Waag, de Hoofdtoren, 't Wees Huys among others.

Another prosperous ancient trading town. The city is now known for its sailing events. The small inner-city contains many houses from the 17th and 18th century - the Castle Radboud is one of the local attractions.

Neighborhoods

The village is home to many flower farms (tulips, peonies etc). Many inhabitants are farmers or agricultural scientists working for seed production companies such as Syngenta, Monsanto, Enza Zaden etc in Enkhuizen. There is big outdoor natural ice-skating rink in winter ! The closest local beach is about 2kms from the house (Wateringpad, Zuiderdijk).

This is such a family friendly place perfect for lunch. The playground is huge and the whole family can enjoy a round of Midget golf. The service is very friendly with little touches of local wild flowers too! The Schellinkhout strand where the kite surfers congregate is right behind the restaurant so you may want to walk over for some free spectacle too!
