Enkhuizen, Maritime city in North Holland, Netherlands.
The city of Enkhuizen extends along the Zuiderzee Sea with a harbor, traditional Dutch houses, and numerous waterfront structures at 3 meters elevation.
Enkhuizen received official city rights in 1355, granting the settlement privileges such as self-governance, the right to mint money, and authority to charge tolls.
The residents of Enkhuizen, known as Enkhuyzers, maintain maritime traditions through regular festivals and events that showcase the region's naval heritage.
The municipality provides comprehensive tourist information centers, transportation services, and guided tours throughout the historical districts and harbor areas.
Enkhuizen functioned as the capital of Wieringen until 2012, when administrative restructuring incorporated it into the municipality of Hollands Kroon.
