Makkum, Coastal village in Súdwest-Fryslân, Netherlands.
Makkum extends along the banks of IJsselmeer lake with nature reserves Noardwaard and Súdwaard flanking its northern and southern borders.
The Sint Maarten terp settlement, established over a millennium ago, contained the original Mackum community and an early religious structure.
The village coat of arms displays a golden mermaid alongside a sailing vessel and lime kiln, representing the maritime and manufacturing legacy.
Visitors can access numerous water sports facilities and recreational areas at De Holle Poarte, which includes beaches and camping grounds.
Royal Tichelaar, among the oldest companies in the Netherlands, maintains its pottery manufacturing operations in this Frisian settlement.
