Blaricum

Blaricum is a residential municipality in the Gooiland region of North Holland and displays a mix of traditional farmhouses, contemporary homes, and protected architectural monuments. The community sits among open green spaces that define the character of the area between Amsterdam and Utrecht.

The settlement began in the 14th century as a farming community and received formal recognition in 1388. From there it developed into a stable residential area within the Gooiland region.

The municipality displays its identity through three blue cornflowers on a silver field coat of arms, introduced during Queen Emma's 1897 inauguration.

The location is easily reached by car or public transport from Amsterdam or Utrecht. Visitors can find parking near the town center and walk through the village to explore its streets and buildings.

The name Blaricum stems from the combination of personal name Blaheri with inga and heem, translating to a specific person's dwelling place.
