Den Burg, Administrative center on Texel Island, Netherlands.

Den Burg features a medieval layout with narrow streets, traditional Dutch houses, and a central marketplace where weekly markets take place.

The settlement originated between 918 and 948 under the name Osterburghem, built as a defensive structure against Viking invasions in North Holland.

The Dutch Reformed church exhibits architectural elements from the 11th century and contains a mid-15th-century tower that received modifications after 1537.

The town provides various accommodation options, restaurants, shops, and transportation connections to explore different parts of Texel Island.

A monument dedicated to the Esperanto language stands at the intersection of Kogerstraat and De Zes, installed in 1935.
