Noordhollandsch Kanaal, Historic canal in North Holland, Netherlands
The North Holland Canal extends 79 kilometers from Amsterdam to Den Helder, connecting multiple cities through a network of waterways and locks.
King William I commissioned the canal's construction in 1819, and it was completed in 1824 to address navigation problems between Amsterdam and the Zuiderzee.
The canal features traditional floating bridges, known as vlotbruggen, which represent early 19th-century Dutch engineering solutions for water crossings.
The section between Alkmaar and Den Helder remains active for professional navigation, while the entire canal system manages surface water in North Holland.
The canal incorporates sections of circular waterways from old polders like Beemster and Schermer, following the path of the former Rekere River north of Alkmaar.
