Zijpersluis, Hamlet in Schagen, Netherlands

The settlement stands at the intersection of the Grote Sloot and the Noordhollandsch Kanaal, surrounded by agricultural fields and water channels.

Following the construction of Jacob Claesse Sluis in 1566, Zijpersluis developed as a collection of farms that supported local water management operations.

The farm 't Huis Vroegh, constructed in 1670, represents the earliest agricultural establishment in the Zijpe region, demonstrating traditional Dutch farming methods.

Travelers need to use routes through Burgervlotbrug or Schoorldam to access the N9 highway, as the former ferry service across the canal no longer operates.

A memorial monument stands in Zijpersluis to commemorate individuals who lost their lives during a World War II fusillade at this location.
