Kolhorn and Medemblik , North Holland, The Netherlands
Kolhorn is a village in the West Frisian municipality of Hollands Kroon in the province of North Holland.
Kolhorn is mentioned for the first time in 1288. The village of Colhorn was situated on the Zuiderzee until 1844 and was a fishing village. Since the reclamation of the Groetpolder, the Waardpolder and the Wieringermeer, the village lies about 20 kilometres inland.
Remains of the previous situation can still be seen on the West Frisian Circular Dike. On the dike there are still a few old fines (barns). It used to store peat and other merchandise awaiting further inland transport. Two museums are housed in the fines. Kolhorn is largely a government-protected village-village. The village also has a village church from the 17th century the Laurenskerk.
Medemblik is the oldest city in West Frisia: in 1289 it acquired city rights from Count Floris V, who at that time had just definitively subjected West Frisia to his grave authority. Until 2007, Medemblik was an independent municipality, to which no other residences belonged. The municipality was one of the smallest in the province of North Holland. The current municipality of Medemblik was the result of a merger with the municipalities of Noorder-Koggenland and Wognum as of 1 January 2007, followed by a merger with the municipalities of Wervershoof and Andijk as of 1 January 2011.
Medemblik has many historic facades, and a town hall from 1939 by the architect A.J. Kropholler. There is also a working corn mill (Molen De Herder, rebuilt 1986-1990) and the Dutch Steam Machine Museum is housed in the former steam pumping station De Vier Noorder Koggen. Medemblik has more than 80 national monuments.
Since 1887, Medemblik has had a rail connection with Hoorn. The Medemblik station building dates from the opening year. Nowadays this line is used by the Museum Steam Tram Hoorn-Medemblik.

Hoorn beautiful authentic harbour - Holland Holiday
A beautiful old city, about 40 kilometers from Amsterdam, is Hoorn.
In the past it was a succesful trading port situated on the Zuiderzee.
After closing this sea with a 30 kilometer barrier dam the Zuiderzee became a lake, called IJsselmeer.
After the construction of a dam between Enkhuizen and Lelystad the lake south of the dam was called Markermeer.
Today Hoorn is a bustling marina for water sports.
At the end of the afternoon the traditional ships enter the harbour, often with groups that make a trip on the Dutch waters, such as the IJsselmeer, Markermeer and the Wadden Sea.
These old Dutch flat-bottomed ships are called 'De Bruine Vloot', which means 'The Brown Fleet'.
The name refers to the brown sails many of these boats are equipped with.
Did you know that Cape Horn was named after the city of Hoorn?
In the year 1616 explorer Willem Corneliszoon Schouten named the cape after his city of birth.
The old town has lively shopping streets with pleasant terraces.
Like many other towns in the Netherlands Hoorn has a history with cheese. In summer there is a cheese market every week.
We take a look in a cheese shop that has hardly changed for generations.
You can also visit several interesting museums.
The collection of the Westfries Museum shows you the cultural history of the 17th century, the Golden Century.
Museum 20th Century houses an impressive collection of objects from the 20th century that will appeal to both young and old alike!
Or enjoy old masterpieces of poster design in the ‘Affiche Museum’.
Make a trip through time with a historic steam tram from Hoorn to another little harbour, Medemblik. Or a trip in combination with a boat trip to ancient port Enkhuizen.
You will enjoy your stay in Hoorn!
