Located on the Markermeer lake, Hoorn features numerous preserved merchant houses and maritime structures displaying Dutch architectural elements from the 1600s.
The Dutch East India Company established a major trading post in Hoorn during the 1600s, making it one of the primary commercial centers in the Netherlands.
