Bergen, Coastal municipality in North Holland, Netherlands

Bergen spreads across several populated areas including Bergen aan Zee, Egmond aan den Hoef, Egmond aan Zee, and Groet at one meter above sea level.

The municipality formed in 2001 through the merger of former municipalities Egmond, Schoorl, and Bergen proper, which traced its origins to 1811.

The Bergen School artistic movement emerged in the early 1900s, with numerous paintings and artifacts now displayed at Museum Kranenburgh.

The municipality connects to Alkmaar through bus number 6, operating every 15 minutes on weekdays, while cycling remains the primary local transportation method.

The Schoorlse Duinen nature reserve contains the Netherlands' highest dunes, reaching 59 meters and extending over 5 kilometers in width.
