Buitenhuizen, Hamlet in Zaanstad, Netherlands
Buitenhuizen extends along the IJ waterway, encompassing areas along Dorpsstraat, Zeedijk, Kanaalweg, and the provincial road N247 in Noord-Holland province.
The settlement emerged before the formation of Buitenhuizen Polder, with its name referencing buildings positioned outside the dike along the IJ river.
The construction of the Noordzeekanaal in the 19th century altered the hamlet's development, transforming part of the area into the Spaarnwoude recreation zone.
A pontoon ferry service connects Buitenhuizen with the Houtrakpolder across the canal, providing essential transportation for residents and visitors.
The hamlet developed from the Zuideinde, opposite an old water basin called Buitenhuizerbraak, which formed after a historical dike breach.
