	City of Medemblik This lovely city on the shores of the IJsselmeer, was granted city rights in 1289 by Count Floris V who then built a citadel now known as Radboud Castle. In the centuries to follow it developed to become an important Zuiderzee (meaning “southern sea” in Dutch as opposed to the North Sea) harbour. The importance of Medemblik as a commercial harbour largely diminished after the construction of the Noordhollandsch Kanaal (the channel connecting Amsterdam with the North Sea at Den Helder) in 1824. The closing of the Zuiderzee in 1932 almost meant the end of the city. But the resilience of Medemblik showed in the 1960s when the city steadily developed to become one of the major centres for watersports. Medemblik boasts many historical buildings, a Bakery Museum and a Steamtram Museum. Between the historic Zuiderzee towns of Medemblik and Hoorn steamtrams meander across the Westfrisian countryside. It is 50 minutes (62 km) by car to Amsterdam city centre (where you will find various museums and attractions): www.iAmsterdam.com and 50 minutes (41 km[!]) to Den Helder (where you will also find various museums and attractions): www.DenHelder.nl Check out the site of the Medemblik Tourist Board at www.vvvmedemblik.nl
